the question below is not a gag: i asked the question alot to be random but never received a hyphothesis, really just throw an idea out i want to know!
if the universe is everything and the universe is still expanding what is it expanding into? (there has to be an explanation) |

{No We All Deserve To Die...}  I'm not really sure, but it could just be expanding into empty space. {...Even You, Mrs. Lovett, Even I} |

"Negative-K" {No We All Deserve To Die...} I'm not really sure, but it could just be expanding into empty space. {...Even You, Mrs. Lovett, Even I} But space itself is empty space. Empty space is still part of the universe. There is nothing beyond the universe, yet it still expands. That's all there is to it. |

"sleepx2" the question below is not a gag: i asked the question alot to be random but never received a hyphothesis, really just throw an idea out i want to know! if the universe is everything and the universe is still expanding what is it expanding into? (there has to be an explanation) This is where analogies break down. The universe isn't expanding in the same way a balloon expands. The expansion of the universe simply refers to the increase in our length scale. If you're expanding away from me it simply means the meters between us are getting bigger. |

Why does it need anything to expand into? Just imagine a long infinite line of equally-spaced galactic clusters. As time goes on, the distances between them increase.
......<--*--*--*--*--*--> ...<---*---*---*---*---*---> <----*----*----*----*----*----> There is no true 'center' because every cluster (*) sees everything else moving away from it the same way--so perhaps we can say that any one of them can be seen as the center. Now try to imagine the same thing with more dimensions and perhaps not perfectly equal spacings. |
