Hey Cosmocrazy,

that would certainly be a lot easier. But space isn't nothing. The best theories and observations we have come up with (Big Bang cosmology, and chuck in inflation too) strongly suggest space as we know it (and time for that matter) began with this initial hot dense state called the Big Bang.

The very beginning, less than 10^-43 seconds, is beyond our comprehension, and may always be.

Infinity, when you think about it for a while, has at least as many mind bending problems as 'How did the Big Bang happen' so might not help that much.
