And the space isn't coming from anywhere, it's more like it's stretching.
Kaku likes to use a balloon as an example. When you blow up a balloon even though it's getting bigger, there isn't more rubber being added to it, just the rubber that is already there is stretching.

That seems unreasonable, a deflated balloon has some air in it and to make the balloon expand more air, other gas or liquid must be added to expand the balloon and if to much of these properties are added the balloon burst. I've not seen anyone claiming that the space of the universe will burst.

I just saw this in the HoS and just had to come see it for myself!!

WTF, man?!?!?!
Just shut up, if you don't understand the concept. Sometimes, it's great to be introvert, you refrain from letting everyone know that you don't know anything about a given subject!
