Shared QChing conversation
“If the universe is expanding, what exactly is it expanding into?” I’ve always wondered—if the universe is expanding, what exactly is it expanding into? Is it stretching into some kind of “outside space,” or does expansion mean something different than how we usually imagine it?
Expansion is not movement into a preexisting outside but a change in the relations between all parts, so distances grow inside the whole.
The universe’s scale stretches and things recede from one another while the receptive ground of space remains; this is about changing relations, not an outside container.
So I'm incorrect that it's "Expanding into an empty geogebra style axis plot"?
You are incorrect; this points to shifts in relations inside the system, not moving into an empty external axis plot.
Small, steady adjustments and stronger ties with nearby parts bring useful, visible benefit rather than a jump into vacant space.
