I enjoiyed the personal experience you shared in showing you can relate, but damn u/secretslob you totally killed my momentum for, admittedly from a place of righteousness, telling that redditor about how such generalizations are hurtful and harmfull and..... anyway, thanks. I needed to chill.

Can you point me to any information on how the idea of this "expanding into nothing" can be conceptualized?

Unfortunately, imagining "nothing" beyond the balloon is where everyone gets lost. Most people, with sense, would easily counter-explain that the balloon could not expand without the "room" to be able to expand. I mean, sure the "thing" expanding also made/caused the actual phenomenon of expansion, but we'll let the philosophers continue haggling over that paradox.

There are many things in my life that I do have to decide if I am OK with, but thankfully not this one. I cannot even imagine "nothing" and having less than nothing (that which lies beyond our Universe's edge) is as mind-boggling as it is speculative. All the energy in our Universe may be just a tiny fraction of all the energy everywhere/when. It seems more likely, to me, that our Universe is a tiny part of something bigger. If not, what a waste of energy and time/space.
