RE: Science isn’t always the answer.

BLUF: Yes, we are at an impasse.
In science, many observers are exploring what a void means. Boote's Void (AKA: The Great Void) is about 330 million light-years in diameter. But the largest known void is the Super Void called the "Cold Spot" void in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). But the Super Void is in the wrong direction. The analysis on the Super Void is looking backward in time. I'm asking about the outward expansion.
I will defer to your judgment, but I at a loss to understand it. If the universe is expanding, that means there is something to expand into. Otherwise, the universe would just abruptly end... And then the question becomes, what is on the other side of the abrupt end?
I understand we cannot observe anything beyond our space and time. But the logical answer of what our universe expanded into is a void. Despite your belief that cosmic voids are inside space and time.
(COMMENT)
When I think of a "void," I think of something other than the unknown regions beyond the expanding universe. What is the universe is expanding into? A "void" is inside the universe. Like the "
intergalactic void" which is responsible for propelling the Milky Way and Andromeda. The voids we know of today are still within the construct of space and time.
