I often confuse the vacuum of space with the E=MC squared of the mathematical universe we are debating here.
1. Space is a vacuum and in that vacuum there is matter and electromagnetic radiation and time dimensions etc. Our universe is in this "space". Space may be infinite, and it likely goes beyond our universe.
2, Assuming you already know about matter and electromagnetic radiation: Time is a dimension that has properties. It can be bent like light and is affected by the gravity effect etc.
3.When all matter was together in a singular place (singularity) electromagnetic radiation and time were bent to the point that they all turned back in on the singularity. (who knows what the actual shape was... I prefer a ball for simplicity)
4. When point 3 was the case our universe was small, all atomic activity had stopped... the small singularity resided inside of an infinitely large vacuum we call space.
5. The Big bang occurred a billionth of a second later and ..kabloom....and the expanding universe began. Matter, radiation, etc started it's journey outward, into the vacuum. Because of it's speed , time was/is affected.
6. When scientists debate over the shape of space and time and our universe they are talking about the space-time dimensions of our universe. There is nothing to say that there are not other universes outside of our own, in space.
Did I get it wrong?
Please advise
