I have always asked, what exactly is the universe expanding into? If you approach the very edge of the universe, and look across, what would you see? I asked a professor that once, and he snickered.

The idea is that the space is created as the universe expands.
There was literally nothing there before.
We humans have a hard time picturing that. Our minds insist there must be some kind of empty void out there already, but where would *that* have come from?
