The universe is not expanding into anything. The universe is not expanding in the convential sense, instead the fabric of space-time itself is "stretching". It doesn't need anything to expand 'into'.

Re: Expanding but not expanding

Two things:

1. The universe does not take in matter from outside. It does not increase in energy.

2. What you can, or cannot, visualise is utterly irrelevant to the question of what is.

Re: Dark Matter

You could do that sure, but be aware that you're commiting yourself to a position no better than 'making shit up'.
