I do not believe you could ever find the 'end' through the knowledge we have today. This would require us to exceed the speed of light, obtain infinite energy, warp space as a blackhole does, etc. I do believe there are infinite universes. Our universe exists as a 'point in infinitely dimensional space.
Our universe was created from the chaos of the lawlessness of nothingness, we could have been 10 billion times larger in mass or the size or total mass of an atom. We may be able to difine how much mass the universe has, but possibly never the size.
It would be like defining the size of a dimensionless point.

No one can really answer this yet, because all we have are theories on how space is shaped.
I am not an astrophysicist (and it probably shows ;)), but as I understand it, current thought is that there is a boundary, which can be considered the edge of the curvature of space. At the time of the big bang, the universe would have been a point, it's been expanding since (or possibly it's slowed down, we don't have a full answer yet). I guess one answer might be that whatever is 'beyond' this boundary would be whatever the universe big-banged into. Another, probably equally valid answer would be that a place, as we understand it, can only be defined inside the bounds of our universe... thus there isn't really a place beyond the boundary for anything to be.
But as I say, I'm not an astrophysicist. If you can find one, you might get a very interesting answer.

If we go by the theory of probability, bag bang & crunch phenomena could have happened at more than one point in the infinite space. So beyond our universe there could be one more but might be at a different phase/ status. But certainly we never know for a long long time from now, i.e. till we find a way to observer beyond the obvious.

The universe is everything that exists. There is no edge. That's like asking me to meet you at the corner of a circle. There isn't one.

another universe. Some scientists use the phrase multiverse.

What.....? Do you think "God" is on line right now??? Truth is..No one will know until we die...Maybe not even then. So stop stressing about it.
