The concept of nothing is not something. It is mearly an artifact of our language. The main weaness we have in this discussion is that our minds are not equipped to conceive of nothing.

The other problem is defining what is something. Some philosophors say that all existance thought. If "something" must be physical, then there is nothing. But if thought is all that exists, then the word "something" only makes sence if thoughts qualify as something.

Either way it's a semantics game that relies too much on definitional concepts.
Well, that's something to think on. Or is it nothing?

Still, is our universe is in fact growing, then what is outside of it? Nothing?
No, since the universe is still growing, nothing hasn't reached there yet.

What is the speed of nothing, anyway?

I have no idea. All I know is that current explanations place that question in the nonsense category. Kinda like asking if carrots taste blue. When it comes to the "outside" of the universe, there is no there, there.

No, carrots don't taste blue. But consider: neither do they taste orange.
