That's far from proven actually

Not at all, the current hypothesis is that the big bang is an expansion of pre-existing matter, not a explosion in a vacuum.

Vacuum is not matter. That's what vacuum means.

Not only does it not require that, I have not made any claims about an ever expanding universe.

a. How does it not require that if there were not pre "existing" vacuum?
b. What leads you to think the universe is going to stop expanding?
