When you start out with the raisin bread all the raisins are close together.
Then as the bread rises and bakes, the raisins move appart as the dough expands.
So if you think of the raisins as matter (say galaxies) and the dough as space itself, you can sort of imagine how it works.
Space expands (the dough rises and bakes) and it takes the raisins (matter/galaxies) with it.

That is the metaphor my old astronomy prof used. Wait, are you her?
Thus, Photon you are saying that at the time when all space, matter and energy were concentrated there was no catalytic explosion yet the start of a rapid expansion caused by the cooling of the once uniform energy fields? So, is it safe to say that the bang wasn't a bang so much as it was hiss that usually sees the balloon is inflating? So, what would cause the inflation of the ballon? Is the catalyst suspected to be known?
