At the boundaries, does it interact with the universes?


Remember this one of of many theories in QM but it is the one most relevant to this discussion. The others are Quantum loop theories and string theories.

In this unruh version the unenergised space is simply space at the lowest possible energy state. The universe event front represents the wavefront of it being charged up to a vacuum state as we see it.

One way to visualize it get a big dry sponge then drop a coloured liquid drop in the midle and watch it spread out.

At the boundary the Quantum field energy is continually charging up new new space as it races out.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
