followup to ya, i'm wasted

Holy fuckin shit, Jon sounds like Darth Vader with emphysema, I may have to let him have the whole couch to himself tonite, what a lucky guy!  I don't wanna toot my own horn or anything, but it really does feel good to do good things for others.   Anyways, this has been bugging me for quite some time now: If the universe was created during the Big Bang  what do you call the shit that surrounds the matter of the big bang? Like what did the Big Band explode into, and what is it expanding into?  Like if our whole universe was created during a big explosion, all that shit that blew out of the explosion came from somewhere and it must have occupied a space.  I just wanna know what that space consists of.  I bet God knows the answer.
