I don't understand how they even theorise that space is expanding, surely the universe is infinite and has no furthest point? I can't grasp it being considered a container of sorts (with a boundary). If it is a container which is expanding then this creates another problem; what is the container contained within?
So many questions, surely someone can clone Einstein back to life already??? they have his brain in a jar dont they or some of his body so they have the cells ffs...do it!

We can't have track a specific 'point in space' due to relativity, so we make do with our point of reference.
The 'container' is infinite. An expanding universe means that our clumps of matter are getting further away from the other clumps.
Cloning won't bring back Einstein. Besides, Stephen Hawking isn't smart enough for you?
