Re: Could it be?
I've always like a mental model of space being like a balloon that is being slowly inflated, with the universe (in 2D) on the surface of the balloon. This assumes that our universe is part of some larger construct which we probably can't ever prove or disprove. If there's nothing to stop the inflation, perhaps like a balloon someday it simply bursts? If that happens, I'm sure it will happen on a Monday.
