How could first big-bang explode?

Expanding into what Ben?
You do realise that writing 'expanding into non-spatial nothingness' would be easier to read if you write it ; "Not expanding into anything."?
But you say that nothing is on the other side of the big bang expansion bubble, then it follows that the big band is expanding into nothing...
 
Just a more verbose way of explaining the same thing as the WordWeb dictionary ....a theory is merely an explanation that has passed peer review...but that does not mean it is true..

But what has this really got to do with the OP.....how did the big bang begin? So how about providing an explanation of how all the energy and mass of the universe come from nothing? And secondly, is big bang science able to prove the existence of nothing?
You put explicit emphasis on non-verification, our definitions are pretty different.

The OP asks what it expands into and in the title asks how could it explode, technically not directly asking how it began but how it could :p

The theory doesn't actually say there was "nothing".

But there are numerous big bang believers here that I have been debating the issue with, who say the science says there is nothing...a non-spacial nothing....if you want to jump on my side...go ahead...

Why would it need a motive Ben? Why are you applying a motive to a cosmological event? How did that make sense to you?
Not a motive...but a technical reason....energy can't emerge from nothing by any known means....yet it supposedly did in big bang theory. So what is the reason/

I'm universally neutral lol, it just poses that the universe came from a state of extremely high temperature and density, anything about nothing is inference.

Also this spacial nothing doesn't impy actual nothing, although I don't think we're talking string theory here - if so, over my head.

What energy Ben? I told you it was zero. You don't believe anything can come from nothing - neither do I so we agreed on zero energy right?
