Excellent question! When you can answer it, you'll be invited to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize for Physics.

Seriously, this is one of the great things that we do not know about the universe. There have been a number of suggested answers, but none that everybody accepts. (And even for the answers that all scientists agree on, sometimes we learn later that we all had it completely wrong!)

Scientists refer to this phenomenon as " the expansion of space".

The expanding universe has been described as a balloon that is stretching outward. If that is so is the inside of the universe a hollow filled with invisible energy?

The "balloon" is just a rough analogy; the balloon surface is 2-dimensional, our Universe has 3 dimensions (3 spacial dimensions). In the balloon, there is a curvature towards a third dimension. It is not clear whether such additional dimensions (beyond the third dimension) make any physical sense in our Universe.
