consider the inside of the balloon as the *past, and the outside of the balloon as the *future. so the balloon actually is expanding into something; the future.

I'll discuss analogy first, hoping there will be no need to discuss "SR, gravity, geometry..."
If we want to make an analogy of the
standard [or any]
model we must be sure that scale model shares its key properties. Yes, I have been reading a lot before starting posting, I noticed your peculiar style
[of challenging davids]. I'll not quote wiki or other, [because anything could be doubted], but FAQ's, written by our best cosmologist(s):
"...universe is very nearly
flat.[Komatsu]...", "...and flat types have
infinite spatial volume...", "...time and space did
*not exist before the BB...", "...BB happened uniformly,
everywhere and at once" ., "...only points on the 2D
surface of the balloon represent actual points in space."
Standars model : Ω = 1, flavour = flat, space = infinite,, time = 13blyr, origin = everywhere, present = surface
analogy
* : Ω > 1, type = curved/sphere, space = finite, origin = point/
*center of sphere, present = pennies into
*future
So, our analogy is not even a bad, false analogy, it is not at all an analogy, it is the analogy of a completely different model
Analogy is used also to make a trivial (in)formal fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/equivocation" , exchanging expand=inflate of the explosion [which is therewith negated] with expand=
"si stretche" of the rubber surface.
FAQ has, among others, these contradictions:a) if time and space did not exist before BB then \rightarrow laws of physics did not exist/work,[actually
nothing existed because time/space are categories of being, pre-requisites for existence], so \rightarrow BB couldn't happen, and \rightarrow everywhere did not exist; b) if time and space began 13blyr ago [then]\rightarrow space/universe
cannot be infinite, unless speed of expansion is infinite, etc..
But analogy
*'s most dangerous fallacy, that opens a
Pandora's box of "geometric" fallacies is the floating "pennies". In
any model you can imagine, galaxies are not pennies or ants walking on the balloon, but are the rubber molecules of the balloon.
I reminded you that thin ice is cracking under the feet of anyone who attempts to make a theory about a one-off event, but if the theory itself is incoherent, has internal contradictions or fallacies it falsify itself and
"gratis negatur" Euclid. I did not negate it
gratis, I presented some arguments, and I can present many more.
I apologize in advance if I misquoted, made any mistakes,etc..: I'll immediately accept corrections, but the main logical argument remains valid.
