The universe is all there is so expanding into something is a bunk question. Things outside of the universe would still be the universe. Casue it's everything.
What you should otherwise say, rather simply, is the universe is expanding.

How can it be expanding if there's nothing outside it to expand into?

i thought the universe expanding literally just meant there are light protons always shooting outwards from the center of the universe
so how can light be going at a faster speed when its already in a vacuum? or is it the fact that since its getting further away from gravitational force its speed is actually increasing?

>>37394619
it'll expand until it runs out of energy

this is called heat death

>>37395863
It's cold death you brainlet, heat death is an opposing theory where the universe is shrinking into a single point

>>37396097
Nope, heat death means the universe reaching maximum entropy at a very low temperature after continuous expansion, ie thermodynamic equilibrium.

Who knows it might expand till a heat death then smash itself back together and restart repeating over and over again.

Things are farther apart

>>37394619
the universe is procedurally generated like minecraft

>heat death is an opposing theory where the universe is shrinking into a single point
No, that's big crunch.

>>37396097
I thought the theory was the universe will expand to a set point then retract?

>>37394619
It's not expanding into anything, just the distance between any two points in space is getting bigger as time progresses.
