Travis didn't use the rasin bread analogy because it's really difficult to demonstrate the lack of centre in something which clearly has a centre. He's obviously chosen to assume that the universe has n>4 dimensions. That's not an assumption I personally feel comfortable which at this point in my education, but he's using the proper analogy to demonstrate it.

Well, if you assume all of the "something" started out as energy, which doesn't take up volume, per se, then this compression is trivial.
