I recently learned what it really means when people say space is constantly expanding. At first I thought it just meant more matter is getting created on the outer areas of the universe or something. But it’s moreso space in the spacial sense is expanding between everything, like a balloon being inflated. This opened up a realm of stuff I hadn’t thought about, with my brain struggling to comprehend how there is finite ‘space’ in that sense. Like how does existence itself have a limit to size? For distance as a concept to exist, the space between atoms has to be finite, and doesn’t break down infinitely. But my brain can’t comprehend this, similar to how it can’t comprehend there being nothing before the big bang. It obviously can’t be infinite because there’d be no existsnce as we know it, but how can it be finite and exist at all?
I guess the question is, how is there a limit to the space between atoms?

Tbh no one really knows most of these things for certain. You can always come up with a theory to explain all these things but what is 100% true is controversial there is also a theory that the universe is static and always been here and the big bang was just one of many in our one universe. Since jameswebb sees galaxies that seem to exist before the big bang. You might like a series I like called closer to truth. Closertotruth.com
