So long as this "void" doesn't exist (as you state here in the last line) then we agree

The universe being the size of the Earth at 1 second doesn't fit our current model. Apparently the universe is 156 Billion light years wide even though it's onle 14 Billion years old.

Actually, I think this figure is really a lower bound on the size of the universe (since it could be infinite).

Also, that's a nice description of inflation you give there, Pat!

P.S This expansion means the universe ( Space ) was expanding far faster than light speed. ( Another Mystery )

Well, it's not really all that mysterious!
