must expand into something that is there. Such as empty space...

As I thought, your terminology is confusing everyone.

When most people hear the word "space" in this kind of context, they think of the Big Black in between the stars and planets. The point many of us are trying to make is that this "Big Black" is different to the "space" beyond the borders fo the universe.

You weretherefore causing a confusion between the "space" between the planets and the "space" beyond the universe's edge.

Unless you are actually asserting that the space between the planets is fundamentally the same as whatever is beyond the universe- ie, to fit Geo's metaphor, 'there is no box'. Otherwise, "emptiness" might be good word substitution for "space" in your Last few Posts..?
