mind boggling isn't it? I've often pondered this question myself.
if the universe is expanding...what is it expanding into?
and for those who say "nothing" ...if that were true, then the universe wouldn't be moving. period.It would be stopped dead in its tracks. Limited by nothingness.
But if the universe is moving...its moving into "something" what that something is...we may never know.
great thread topic!

What is the best way to tell people "everything you think you know to be true is a lie"?
What is the best way to tell people science fiction is science and science is science fiction?

The problem is that a lot of people don't want to be told by other people something that differs from their own acquired scientific understanding.
The other problem is that people don't know how to perceive the information that they read. Even if i try to tell people what a absolutely empty space is. They don't seam to grasp that a empty space is actually a physical space that is absolutely empty. They also think that a absolutely empty space disappears as soon as something appears inside it. Or that nothingness no longer exists. Why do these people even bother if they don't have the capacity to think?
When a measurement is made and it causes one member of such a pair to take on a definite value (e.g., clockwise spin), the other member of this entangled pair will at any subsequent time[7] be found to have taken the appropriately correlated value (e.g., counterclockwise spin).
QUARKS leave the Protons and Neutrons of your Alternate YOU and exist in the Protons and Neutrons of the Alternate Yous...
I believe I can answer your question. Space/Time is a Geometric Construct that exists only because of Matter, Energy, Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Without these things you have no Dimensionality. Without these things you have no Gravity nor do you have EXISTENCE. It is not that the Universe is moving into something as SPACE by definition is NOTHING. What is happening is that the things that I have previously listed are moving further apart. As this occurs...Space/Time is CREATED!

What is the current reality...there is a PUBLIC PHONE BOOK put out by LOS ALAMOS has his name in it...it was later changed to say that other members of the Dept. of Energy numbers were in it...but this occurred AFTER the DOE stated he never worked for the DOE. Split Infinity

OK...I will try to clear this up. You and I and everything that has Protons and Neutrons...is made up of smaller various types of QUANTUM PARTICLE/WAVE FORMS. Now the Big Question is trying to understand and develop the UNIFIED FIELD THEORY. This is the theory that would allow us to understand why the MACRO UNIVERSE...Planets, Stars, Galaxies, even as small as Atoms...behave completely different than THE QUANTUM UNIVERSE...which are the Smaller Particles that make up Protons and Neutrons inside an Atoms Nucleus...the Electrons that Orbit these Nucleus' are Quantum Particles and behave as both Particle and Wave.
So on the Quantum Level...Physics as we know it BREAKS DOWN and even though we do not understand QUANTUM MECHANICS WE USE IT EVERY DAY IN OUR CELL PHONES and other gadgets. Every attempt or theory to explain Quantum Mechanics has failed except one...but to explain it this way we would have to understand a MULTIVERSAL SYSTEM...which we do not understand.
So it comes down to this...even though we do not understand why the QUANTUM WORLD acts like it does...we can still use it. As for a MULTIVERSE...this is way beyond us but the MATH and the LINE OF LOGIC points to it's existence. That is as best an explanation as I can provide. Split Infinity

Fancy worded title. Completely misleading. The big thing here is they have found a way to make QCD calculations almost as easy as QED, which will have thousands of tech applications.
As for the virtual fermions(quarks) and virtual bosons (gluons) that they said make up most of our mass, this is already the standard picture. These virtual particle pairs are constantly going in and out of existence at a stupid fast rate, giving them the appearce of solid mass.
the last paragraph about the higgs contributing a small amount to mass, thats retarded casue virtual particles, if they had mass would get it from interacting with the higgs field too.

They are entering and exiting reality as we understand it, that does not mean that they are exiting reality.
Any thoughts?
