Not true, because there might not be only “*the* universe”. *Our* universe could be part of, and expanding into, a multiverse, where there are other universes; but while there are theories that predict this (WMAP/ “Planck”-supported inflation theory being one of them), there is no experiment yet that confirmed it. One difficulty of an experiment is that those other universes would be moving away from ours faster than the speed of light (Lawrence Krauss at AAI, 2009 [1]): <https://youtu.be/7ImvlS8PLIo?t=3454> However, *if* there is a multiverse, then we must assume that *it* is not expanding into anything. See also: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse> (the “Proponents and Skeptics” section features remarkable lists for both categories) F’up2 sci.physics.relativity PointedEars -- Q: What did the female magnet say to the male magnet?
