Big Bang expanded into nothingness?

Are we talking about free will? That's another thread, isn't it? OK then ...

You have free will to choose what you say. Agreed.

That ability enables you to "select" another universe. I don't understand what that means. Another universe has to exist before you can select it, surely? Even if I understood what "selecting" universe means.

String theory has been proposed w/ 10 dimensions, it has elegant mathematical equations but physical observations to confirm it have been hard to come by. Just the same, there are many models for understanding reality and so far I'll have to admit that my proposal is based on thought experiments, the idea that a free choice requires the existence of both future realities. I'll have to think about other evidence but my bet is that there's other obstacles at play here.

Well it's not boring, is it?

I give up.

Those images ae also an analogy, but they cover a different aspect of the our universe, and its "shape". The balloon analogy only deals with the current expansion. Those images are more about how our universe will end up.
