Yet what is this nothingness that our universe is expanding into? It has to be infinite because if it were not then we would have to ask what contains the nothing.
I can visualize our universe as a little ball of light that keeps growing. Yet by doing so I realize that my perspective places me at a distance hundreds of thousands of times the span of our whole universe. By placing myself so far away form it, I actually expand our universe by that distance. Yet where am I? How can I just keep going further and further into the darkness and never reach the end?
I suppose the nothing doesn’t matter, because it has no influence on us, but if it is infinite, can we really think of our universe as finite?
