Hello everyone! I do not know the rules of this forum, or any forum for that matter. This is kind of a first for me. I expect that this is probably the incorrect way to gain information, but I have to try. Several things bug me on a daily basis, and having some solid answers (if possible) would be nice. I figured this was easier than stalking an astrophysicist. Please correct me if my assumptions below are incorrect.
Cosmic expansion.
The total volume of our universe increases every second. I watched The Age of Hubble, and they stated that if the visible universe was the size of an atom, the actual volume of the un-observable universe, the space beyond the stars and galaxies, would comparably be the size of the visible universe. If that is true, then the amount of absolutely empty space outside of the visible universe is unfathomably large. This presents raises several questions for me.
Thank you for your time.

- If the boundaries of the universe are expanding, then some force must be driving it. Regardless of what is causing it, the side effect of the force causing the boundaries to expand would also cause the vacuum in space to grow deeper. Do we know if there is a limit to how deep of a vacuum can exist? I am assuming that a mile cubed section of space somewhere between Earth and the moon, will have a higher pressure (less of a vacuum) than the same volume of space a 1000 Billion light years outside of the visible universe due to there still being particles spread about in space near us.
- If the total volume of space outside the visible universe is a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion times the volume of the visible universe, would the vacuum created in the empty void exert a force on the matter near in the "center" of the universe bubble causing all of the matter in the universe to be sucked in every direction? Would this not explain why far away galaxies are red shifting? If not how do we know?
Thank you for your time.
