OK. Think of it this way, flatty.

You are in a room with furniture, lights, floor. A typical room. You know you are in a room because your body is sending information to your brain which interprets what your body is sensing. Information. Sounds, smells, images, temperature, even the passage of time, etc. Now as man has developed, our ability to gather information has expanded. Suddenly we can see further with a spyglass and see smaller with a magnifying glass. We can measure time and temperatures way beyond what we’ve ever imagined. Our ability to gather information grows. So now we are able to receive information beyond our own bodies’ abilities. We can detect electromagnetic radiation, magnetism, x-rays, infinite degrees of wavelengths of light, and so on.

Now imagine a place where there is no information. Not information that is out there that we don’t know how to receive yet. But rather no information. No gravity, no light, no radiation, no time, even. No nothing. There is nothing to be detected and no amount of technological advances can ever be able to detect it. Even if our most powerful telescope was on the edge of our known universe looking into space it would see nothing. There is nothing to see. There is no information. Just space without limit.

That is what the universe is expanding into.
