I guess it's a lot easier to believe that God had a Big Bang than

    Early in the book, Weinberg explores the origins and implications of the
    Hubble constant, that the red shift of galaxies is proportional to their
    distance, and how this is evidence for the expansion of the Universe. He
    introduces the Cosmological Principle, that the universe is isotropic and
    homogeneous. He then tells the story behind the discovery of the cosmic
    microwave background by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson in 1965.[3] After
    giving the reader a basis of understanding of astrophysics and particle
    physics, in chapter 5, Weinberg lays out the makeup of the Universe after
    its origin in a series of frozen frames. Weinberg shows how the Big Bang
    can account for the relative abundance of Hydrogen and Helium in the
    universe.

So, in other words, you're visualizing short, expanding strings and
"assuming" they go on forever. You're not actually "seeing" eternity, you're
limiting it to the breadth, width and length of finite "strings." Humans are
limited in time and space so we can't "see" (visualize) eternity or
infinity, we have to believe in it by faith.

But in response to Weinberg, if the universe (or "Universe" as Weinberg
capitalizes it?) is constantly expanding, what is it expanding into?
