Matt, just for the record, what I said was:-> > How can nothing "resist" the expansion of the universe? How can the universe expand INTO nothingness? Even with the arguements going back and forth between you two very enlightened individuals we can see the complete and utter misconception of Nothing. Nothing is not a void. By definition, a void is the space between somethings. That is space, not Nothing. Nothing is nothing is no thing.
