The Earth, our solar system, and our galaxy (in which the solar system is located) are moving apart at a speed of a million miles per hour compared to the rest of the celestial bodies. Smoot said, “Because if our galaxy were to keep up with the expansion of the rest of the universe, it would have to travel at 1/6th of its current speed.” We do not know the reason for this. The answer to this fundamental question is still unknown: Why did the initial movement or explosion in the matter of the universe start?

The new findings ‘take the simplistic Big Bang theory a long step down the road and give us a model that will eventually help to unravel the mystery of how the universe was formed,’ Dr. Smoot said in an interview.
