Taking a break from Trumpers versus Cruzeys-
I often wonder about this. Does the expanding universe create
space as it goes, or does it expand in to existing space?
Heavy thoughts.

Donald Trump's skull. Plenty of empty space there.
Sorry, couldn't help it.

If we go to the "end of time"...what is the second after it called?

Always been my question as well.
Assuming the big bang theory is correct, the explosion had to explode into some sort of void.

Creates it as it goes. There is nothing outside the universe, not even “empty” space. The notion of being “outside” of it and looking at it is nonsense, impossible.

It's sort of like asking what's north of the North Pole. The answer isn't "nothing". The answer is that the question itself has no meaning.

A less dense universe.
I think that is correct.

Actually space seems to self-create, like blowing up a balloon without any obvious external mechanism. And it is not expanding ‘into’ anything as far as anyone knows.

New heavens and a new earth. In any theory, I have to work in St. Peter’s declaration that the heavens would roll up like a scroll. That doesn’t negate an expanding, creating universe I guess an analogy would be infinite invisible “rubber bands” having expanded to their limit, suddenly and violently contract.
