I get confused by all this.

So the universe is expanding. But expanding into what exactly? What occupied the space that the universe is expanding into , before the universe expanded into that space? Is it just empty space? But then, if it’s just empty space, isn’t that empty space, still part of the universe?

I have often wondered that too when I read articles like this.

The universe is expanding. But expanding into what exactly?

The fourth Dimension specifically. Like a ballon is a two dimensional surface that expands into the third dimension. String Theory actually predicts a universe of 11 physical dimensions. It was an exciting theory when first proposed but the enthusiasm for it faded as it became clear that the numerous possibilities are so incredibly huge that finding a model that uses it is near impossible to find .

Isn’t “empty space” still just “space” space? Confusing as all hell isn’t it?

But expanding into what exactly?

I often wonder that. Is there a wall way out there, kinda like the universe being in a box?

I don't think man has the capacity to grasp foreverness.....For every beginning, there has to be an end.
