This type of question is common with folks who "love science, but are not scholars".

Science for non scholars can be great fun , so ask lots of questions to better your understanding.

You need to bear one thing in mind however.
In order to be able to work with concepts and quantities, Science has some pretty tight definitions of many common words and ideas.

Swansont's answer is a good example of that and it reappears in this book by Dr Meetham "Basic Physics", as does an explanation of Force, Strength, Pressure, vacuums, frequency and many other terms that cause confusion.
It is a small old book, but easy  to read and easy to find references to explain basic ideas simply but correctly.

Such a book is an invaluable companion to finding out more.

Here is the preface first page.

Thank you!

Hello, love science, but not a scholar. I found this quite interesting myself thinking about it the other day. If the vaccum of space pulls matter, slightly but powerfully, and as pressure flows from high to low, could this not help expansion, I'm sure the force and strength of the vacuum could vary through out space. And could it be possible space itself is moving also?
