How Big Is Space?

Edwin Hubble discovered that space is expanding and theoretically always will.

We measure the distance of stars and galaxies with the period-luminosity scale and then observe bodies that emit light in galaxies(stars) which can be split into its component colors on a spectrum. Lines then appear in this spectrum in particular patterns depending on the elements in the light source. Yet if the light source is moving away, the lines are shifted into the red part of the spectrum. Analyzing the light from the Spiral Nebulae Vesto Slipher found that nearly all of them appeared to be moving away from Earth. Slipher knew that a shift toward red suggested the body was moving rapidly away from the observer. But he had no way to measure the distances to these reddish bodies.

Hubble used this to ***lulate the ratio of distance to redshift was 170 kilometers/second per light year of distance, now called Hubble's constant.

Edwin Hubble and Vesto Slipher have mathematically calculated the distance at which a nearby Nebulae travels towards the "exoskeleton of space." Proving that not only is the universe expanding but that it has an edge... Which of course is expanding as well, so the universe will remain infinite until space decides to turn around.

As for logic; it's a principle of math. So lets say I believe the universe is expanding; you disagree, so now we deduct opinion from theoretical equations and conclude that neither parties are right because nobody has seen the universe "expand."
