It is expanding into nothing.

The void is nothingness.

Given that the nothing we talk about here literally means "no thing" or the absense of all things (including space-time). Given this meaning of nothing, you statement "the void is nothingness" basically means that the void doesn't exist.

conceives it, wants it, and loves it.

"Nothing" isn't endless. It takes up no space at all. It's volume is 0. You seem to be speaking about space. Scrap that idea. The two concepts are nothing alike.

Please use 'energy-matter, it is both more correct and makes better sense.
​
But I'm not speaking about "energy-matter", I'm speaking about space-time. Why would I use a term that doesn't refer to what I am speaking about?
