It is said that the universe is expanding and the galaxies are moving apart. I understand that the space between every two galaxies is increasing. Doesn't this seem to imply that the galaxies will have relative motion and so have a moving velocity. According to relativity and the modern belief in physics, it is said that everything depends on relative motion and nothing else (I am talking about the concepts such as Time Dilation etc.). So in brief I would like to ask that why is it said that galaxies do not move even though the distance between them is increasing.
