The Big Bang Theory

The universe is expanding (and according to recent discovery, this expansion is accelerating). Now suppose you reach the edge of the known universe where it meets darkness. Do you believe that there is anything on the other side? Does it have an end?

The universe, by definition, contains everthing; and yes, according to scientific data the universe is expanding. But what could it be expanding into? Saying its expanding is implying that there is space outside of the universe that it's expanding into. But all space must be inside the universe.
Astronomers see that the universe is getting bigger or expanding, but that must be impossible because the universe, by definition, already contains everything and all space.

The only explaination is that universe is in a constant state of becoming itself; What it already is.

You could never percieve an end because you would have to be able to percieve a nothingness to compare the universe to. But that would be impossible because there would be nothing to percieve.

You could never percieve "the other side" and have it still be "the other side" because you would bring that experince into immergence with this universe, making it one with it.

The universe is everything and will forever be everything even when it is not yet what it will become.

Good questions.
