Ooooo, the non-Universe, of course. Like a balloon, expanding into the non-balloon.

That part mystifies me. I hope we can agree that it's a much more interesting question than who Cain married after he slew Abel. That's the problem with religion as an inspiration for science, it loses time and energy contemplating the irrelevant. What a waste of time it is to try to analogize physical reality to the "seven days of creation." IMO, of course.

Back to the particles. My mental run-through of Genesis didn't inform me in any way. Still mystified.
