You cannot take space out of the universe, the universe IS space and space is the universe.

Think of it like this: A deflated balloon exists in void (absolute nothingness, no matter, no time, nothing and the absence of nothing) then for some reason the balloon starts to inflate, incredibly fast at first and then it starts to slow its rate of inflation. The balloon is (of course) our universe. The "big bang" is a very poor explanation for the creation of the universe.The univese came about through expansion into a void/nothingness. It may be hard to grasp at first but the universe is NOT infinite. It has a finite boundary which according to current theory is impossible to realise due the nature of the shape of the univese. In effect if you travelled in a single fixed direction towards any point in the univese you would eventually arrive back where you started never having found the "wall" at the end of the universe because there isn't one.

Many Science fiction books, i.e. The World of Tiers by Piers Anthony, have explored the idea that there could be many other 'balloons' in this void/nothingness which ours expanded into, possibly with gates or portals connecting them.
