While tripping I came up with a mind blowing question: If the Universe means everything that is (basically), and it's a relatively accepted scientific theory that the universe is expanding then wtf is is EVERYTHING THAT IS expanding into? W/e its expanding into IS the universe. WTF! Any ideas?

Well that whole argument can be destroyed with one other statement, lol.
The universe is everything that it IS and WILL BE.

I dunno man, but i think that its not the quantity of the universe thats changing, but the quality is. At the very first moment of the big bang the universe weighed the same as it does now. I dont know if this is true. Fuck none of us do. Who cares. Let it be.

I think that the fact that the universe contains the same amount of matter throughout time (what you said) is pretty much accepted. What we can't really know from theoriy today is how this matter behaved when it was condensed at a single location in space. I'm no physicist though.

It's expanding because it's infinite . . it's expanding into itself.

The universe is not expanding, it is in the collapsing stage. Thus, gravity (a pulling force) is present. When all matter pulls itself back into the center, it will explode again and expand until the point where it no longer can, then it will collapse again. Obviously, I believe in the oscillating theory, which has about as much credibility as any other theory (almost none, that is).

If it is collapsing then why are other galaxies getting farther apart.
