Imma go ahead and postulate that beyond the observable universe is a wall of anti matter, that keeps eating our universe's matter and neutralizing it.

Prove me wrong! (Don't.)

Isn't that the opposite of what we're "seeing" now with the expanding universe and dark matter (not anti matter) being the reason for space to grow?

Anti matter and matter live inside the space, that dark matter is "producing"

At least that's my layman interpretation of looking at some videos and reading some stuff

So, I have no clue ;⁠-⁠)

My mind just melts when I try to understand dark matter and an expanding universe. And I'm a big astronomy guy, I eat that shit up! I even grasp time dilation to some extent. But the expanding universe, I just can't get my mind around it fully.
