If our Universe is finite ..and given that the BB theory starts with a point such that an infinite Universe is eliminated via that theory (we can not double anything into infinite etc).. so we must accept a finite Universe if we subscibe to the posibility that the BB theory is valid...so may I ask into what medium does our finite Universe expand into?....
OR if our Universe is say 160 billion light years "wide" and expanding to a greater "size" what "space" does it expand into or into what "space" does this alledged expansion intrude???
I use the measure of 160 billion light years simply because that is the highest number I have read as being the outter limit for the Universe.... but whatever size we set upon finally the question presents to me ...into what do we expand???
AND if we are expanding then is would seem reasonable that such a statement contemplates that the expansion must be in relation to "somerthing" so what is the something that offers a measure to observe such is so?
