I don't think your childhood view holds up with contemporary views. My understanding is that 3 dimensional space, as well as time are properties of our local universe. There is no space outside the big bang and between universes if multiple exist

That's exactly what I have such a hard time wrapping my head around: The concept that there is not even a Void outside of the borders of our own universe, that existence itself doesn't, well, exist. The fact that "space" (as we define it) is finite just feels so wrong, so impossible.

To be frank, I totally agree. I don't think our brains can comprehend what existence would mean without 3 dimensions and time.
