More space. It's pretty nuts. Imagine you were stretching a rubber band. What's in-between two points on that rubber that was stretched? Just rubber, albeit thinner and less dense.
In our universe, however, the space that's created is the same as the space that was just there. It'd be like if the rubber band stretched, but didn't lose any density while it did so.
Insane, I know.
