It's like a splinter in your mind, no?
Hang around this forum and it
will start to make sense. Mostly.
Just say the word if you would like more links, I'm happy to share my favorites too. And, there's a whole thread of links here:

And of course Fraser and Pamela's podcasts:

It seems to me the most likely 'something' to contain the universe would be a higher dimension(s) - so compare our universe (three dimensions) to the
surface of an expanding balloon (two dimensions) in your living room - the higher dimension is your living room (and the air inside the balloon). Thats just my lay opinion though.
Scientists think we may even see real evidence of other dimensions when the Large Hadron Collider fires up later this year.
