"No, there is no 'space outside the universe' that migt get filled."
Then how do you explain that the universe is expanding? According to the evidence we have right now, not only is the universe expanding, but it's accelerating!! To me, that tells me that there MUST be something beyond the boundaries of this universe. Heh, to even suggest that the universe is expanding means that it has to be pushing against SOMETHING!!
Another thing, try to describe nothing sometime. Nothing cannot exist in this universe, simply because once it's been defined, it's something, not nothing. Nothing is a concept meant to describe something that can never be, not a reality.
