I heard that video is a bit wrong on some things, I can't remember the exact details but I will try and find it.

I'm not sure if it's factually correct but it's certainly interesting. Good work, OP.

it totally fascinates me, that despite its size, the universe is scientifically finite so it has to exist within something even if what is outside the universe is nothing
