I think the universe is expanding in a place with infinite space and time. cause as we know it the black holes distorts space. so what if that space is being absorbed into something outside of the universe with a near infinite space and time creating the everlasting matrix of events which gives the universe that much time and space to expand on and out to that neither has a beginning nor an actual end. Think of it this way this might actually change our way of seeing the Universe ( this information might be false i merely just thought of it without a proof). what are your thoughts???

According to our best current model, the universe is spatially infinite. But it is not expanding into anything.

First, this is a pop science oversimplication. Second, it has nothing to do with the spacetime model of the universe as a whole.

This is personal speculation, which is off limits here.
 
@Dominion I would recommend spending some time getting familiar with our best current model of the universe and what it actually says. Sean Caroll's online lecture notes on GR have a chapter on the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker idealized models which are the basis for our best current model of the universe. If you want a textbook with more detail, you might try Liddle's Introduction to Modern Cosmology.

In the meantime, this thread is closed since the OP goes into personal speculation.

I always thought it was odd that we know dark energy expands our universe, and that we know it has been increasing over time, yet no one ever expressed a "true" size of the universe (not "observable" universe, the ENTIRE universe) by just reversing the process of expansion based on our understanding of its rate through history, to the point where everything would've been in an extremely small region. The more I've looked into it recently, I've come to find that it is due to that "inflation"...
