MHP is one your favorites, I think, is she not? I highly recommend that people watch this documentary when it airs on PBS on June 24.

Here is how, IMO, to think of our universes outer edge. Beyond that is nothing. Just nothing. As the universe expands it creates more space. It pushed out into nothingness. The pushing creates somethingness. Nothing to stop it as there is nothing there.

if there is nothing there how can you put something there?

you can't just call it "nothing"... even if it is empty space that is something

a blank canvas is "something"... there is no "rational" answer to this, that is why it is so intriguing

infinite cannot mathematically exist, but then how can it not... there will always be something, even if it is nothing, lol

that's why i say it's a circular thing, as opposed to linear
