Space itself is expanding, which means that every point in the universe can be presented as its center, with every other point rushing away from it.

But not at uniform density in all directions, unless you are near the point from which all is expanding.

Also, many now hold that there is no longer any expansion.

That all depends on the model you are using. All that goes out the window if the universe has a center of mass.

Well, the earth must be exempt, because I see a whole lot of gnashing of teeth if the earth is remotely considered as one of those points.

I'm not very bright, so can someone here explain in simple layman's terms exactly what the universe is expanding in to.
