Sadly, I have no clue about physics, astrophysics in particular. But I keep returning to the odd riddle of the universe "expanding", of what was "before" the Big Bang, and how that even came about. After which the universe kept expanding. To me, the universe is not a vast extension in space but in time. The universe could be really a tiny thing, but what makes the "illusion" of extension is the expanse in time in varying degrees of which we sense the universe. That means that rather than space we sense time and its extension. And it means that given our current theories by which we are pretty good in detecting objects and events in the past, we currently lack theories by which to identify objects and events around us in the future. But again, the vastness of the universe consists in time, not space, and the latter's distances are temporal distances that say nothing about the "real" spatial expansion. Just sayin' and just playing with bubbles.
