I have always wanted an answer that I can understand to the following question.

Simply asked, "What is our Universe expannning into"?

Please explain it assuming I am an *ordinary* 13 years old.

I finally found this question and its answer, in a FAQ called
"Frequently Asked Questions in Cosmology":

http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmology_faq.html

It is all "%^$@^$%@^" to me. :-(

Thanks in advance to "anyone/everyone" who can explain it to
me so that I understand.

Blu,
Your intuition is VERY probably correct. If it smells, looks like, and
tastes like rubbish, then it VERY likely is. The BB theory is a result
of "we don't have anything else", arising from questions on how
Hubble's data on redshift may be produced. You may have to "learn" GR
in order to get a physics degree, as they are only awarded by the
wardens who MUST stay with the theory, to preserve their own habitats.
Armed with this "knowledge", hopefully you will apply yourself to
finding the REAL REASON for the apparent loss of speed/energy of EMR.

Good hunting
