Thank you, but I suppose I'm not really questioning the big bang piece. My question was mostly in regards to the continued acceleration piece. Feel free to disregard the "in random directions" part of my original post.
I'm picturing more of an explosion in empty space. A firework or granade of sorts. Any individual dust/shard of the explosion still sees all other objects moving away from it and the rest of my question stands. But I suppose this would imply a "center" to the explosion, which I've also heard is not the case.
Theres a few other comments offering more clarity to the acceleration piece. Thank you everyone!
