Another explanation is that the more space between 2 galaxies, the more that space expands. Say you have 12 ft of rope. Every 5 minutes is expands by 1 in per foot. After the first cycle you have 13 ft of rope After the 2nd, 14ft 1in After the 3rd, 15ft ~3in The longer the rope, the faster it expands.
