What misconception about cosmic mechanics does the raisin bread analogy specifically correct?

It corrects the idea that galaxies are moving outward from a single central explosion point.

A common intuitive error when learning about the expansion is picturing it as an explosion where debris flies outward from a distinct center into empty space. The raisin bread analogy refutes this by illustrating that the expansion is inherent to the medium itself—the dough (spacetime)—and occurs everywhere simultaneously. Because space expands uniformly everywhere, there is no unique center point from which everything is receding. From the perspective of any raisin (galaxy), all other raisins appear to move away, making every location equally valid as a conceptual origin point for the observation, though not the actual origin of the expansion itself.
