None of those guys is an expert on everything. And Peterson isn't an expert on anything.

I would say Peterson is an expert in Psychology. He is however often times asked to comment on things that fall outside the domain of psychology, and gets some of that stuff wrong. It’s not so much he gets it wrong, but more that he leaves out some nuances that he would know if he were an expert on the subject matter, and that leads him to erroneous conclusions.

I've been waiting for you.
Why do cats purr?
How do we store and retrieve memories?
Why do women experience menopause but men do not?
When does multiple grains of sand become a pile of sand.
Lastly,
If the universe is expanding, what is outside it? If there is nothing outside it, how does it expand to create void?

The answer to that last one is this.
More space and other universes outside the universe. Our universe is defined by the distance light has been able to travel since the Big Bang. That’s a bit overly simplistic but it’s basically the gist. Anyway, we know that, because that light reveals one more light year of the universe to us every year, there is space beyond our currently observable universe.
Our bubble may be just one of and infinite number of similar bubbles in space of space is infinite.

sometimes this is how I picture reality:
many separate, completely distinct universes. each one may have for whatever reason slightly different "formulas" or laws of physics. Each one to never, ever, ever, ever be able to interact with the other one. I think if you somehow could get to the "edge" where it is expanding, you would probably just just going around and end up on the other side of the universe, if that makes sense.
the bubbles are constantly expanding, and then eventually when the universe experiences heat death they contract into a bigcrunch/singularity until another big bang happens.
infinite universes, infinite big bangs
imagine a species becoming so powerful that they are the ruler of their entire universe. They have supreme power and could exterminate every other form of life their is, if they pleased. And then one day they learn there are 1000000000000000000000000x10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 other universes. No matter how big we are, we are still unfathomably small.

Not to mention countless copies of each different universe, including our own. The relative frequency of each dependent on probability. The quantum world is all probability. So think about this. You flip a coin. You observe it landed on tails. In the quantum world, either possibility, heads or tails, was in existence until you observed which one it was and decoherence took place. Not to mention a million other possible outcomes like you getting shot in the head before you had a chance to observe it. Anyway, you exist in the universe in which you observed tails. But somewhere out there in outer space, there is another universe just like yours, with another Earth just like yours, with another you, identical to you except for one thing. He observed heads.
Your universe and his are separated by distances so great that, even at the speed of light, you could never ever reach his universe because of the speed st which space is expanding. Nature’s way of insuring you two never meet. Yet so close to each other in the quantum world.
