The term "Big Bang" implies an explosion of matter into pre-existing space, but the theory actually indicates that space is dynamic and more space is constantly created in the interstices between particles as the density of the universe falls.  The Hubble [[redshift]] is a consequence of this stretching of the fabric of space.

Conventional wisdom is that the acceleration is caused by some sort of [[dark energy]].
