Hubbles Law

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded concert, trying to make your way to the exit as the show ends. The people closest to you move out slowly, while those further away seem to speed up as they find clearer paths. This scenario is much like Hubble's Law, where galaxies are like the concertgoers; the ones further from us (or the stage) appear to move away faster as the universe expands. Just as the distance from the stage allows people to move more freely and quickly, the greater the distance of a galaxy, the faster it seems to recede due to the stretching fabric of space itself.
