This is the part that makes my head hurt. It's difficult to visualize space being the entirety of existence with no borders up against anything else. I accept the red shift of the universe but how can it expand into nothing thereby creating more of something?
I'm accustomed to a finite existence. For the universe to expand my mind says that it must expand into another space or dimension.

As stated my ape brain is better at defining the limits that I will work within whether it be confidence limits or an LoQ specification.
