Agreed. We think of “space” being an object, when in reality, it is the lack of something. The universe can expand, because it expands into an infinite nothing. Also, the idea that the basic law of physics is incorrect by asking the question: “If the universe came from the Big Bang, were did the material for the Big Bang come from?” Nothing cannot become something, per se.

"Nothing cannot become something, per se."

I love your question/statement because, in actuality, something can only come from nothing. Or perhaps the big bang was a colossal drop in scale so that the initial ylem as I believe it is called, didn't so much expand as everything(?) else simply dropped in scale relative to the ylem.

Fascinating stuff but sometimes it makes my hair hurt.
