I think this is what people mean when they say the Universe is expanding. My only point, is that it is a misuse of the concept of the Universe.
If the Universe - the sum of all that exists - were expanding, it would have to expand into something that doesn't exist for it to expand into.

Your observation and statement is hopelessly flawed because we simply DON'T KNOW what exists outside the boundries of our universe, and yes, it IS expanding- well, if Stephen Hawking can be believed it is.
