It's not expanding "into" anything, because the universe is "everything". If it exists, it is part of the universe. By 'universe', you mean ... THIS universe? The universe we live in? Everything we know and can observe. That's not to say there's nothing else out there! But we're probably really stupid and can only see a tiny fragment of reality. I like the multiverse theory and liken it to a small segment of a raspberry. You have the tiny "pod" like things but they're all linked together into a larger whole. There has to be room for an infinite multiverse theory and within these possible realms, there must be a God. Equally, there must not be a God. There's so much that we don't know, compared to what we do know, that it's actually embarrassing. I'm just some thick lad from a bricklaying family in Meir. I wish I'd paid more attention to Physics and Maths (and yes, RE) in school.

Things even start to exist, or disappear, with nothing to cause them. The just exist, then no longer exist. Possibly, something very similar happened with the universe. You mean like they come from another dimension, one we can't see, feel or measure in any way, and in some way then become known to us. Like, we notice it, it's visible. Not really appearing from another dimension, Musik. Although they do exist in multiple dimensions outside the four we experience (e.g. super string theory - hairy mathematics and conceptually very awkward. Entire dimensions that are so small they can't be detected or interacted with etc.).
It's from mathematical field theory; fields and hence particles/waves pop into existence from "nothing", mostly mutually destroying themselves and disappearing again almost instantaneously. But some stick around, separate and continue existence. One of my lecturers at university called them "buggery-about fields". As good a description as I've come across.
Very much mathematical constructs from our point of view, but the maths is self-consistent and does predict some effects seen and measured in the universe.

What do CERN have to say about this? Receiving $16Billion a year atom smashing, setting off 'strangelets' etc. I thought they'd already discovered the H-B God Particle, thought this was the key to unlocking it all.
Personally I think the answer lies somewhere along the number 8.
