Other than our local cluster of galaxies, all galaxies are speeding away from each other. The farther away the galaxy, the faster it is moving away. This seems to be contrary to gravitation effects and seems to be related to the "big bang" of 13 billion (or so) years ago.

The Big Bang is responsible for the expansion of the universe, which affects the movement of galaxies. Galaxies are moving away from each other as the universe expands, with more distant galaxies moving faster due to the expansion. This overall expansion of space causes galaxies to move apart from each other.

It isn't quite clear to me what "initial movements" you refer to; but the general tendency is that anything that moves continues to move at a constant speed - unless some force makes it change its velocity. That's Newton's First Law.
