New Question about that theory
Does he say that we could have reached any place in that area, or that we could have colonized all places in that area?

We can get exponential growth if we have unlimited resources but are limited to cubic growth by Einstein.

Since exponential growth is faster than cubic, in the limit we can theoretically completely use the resources of an expanding volume of space.
