A hole in what? As far as science can tell, the universe is everything there ever was, is now, or ever will be.

Wat do you mean by hole. It probably more compilcated than that. Commenting on the another answer, the cutting edge theroies in Cosmology and String Theory, require mathematics at the graduate level mostly PhD.. Most Physics PhDs, esp. in my department would understand it, but the wouldn't able to do the math. Lot of it's complex proofs. Where talking about something with a very strange geomerty, so you need the power of math to describe it. These are probably close for sure... the real challenge is connecting whats on paper to the world we observe.

There are currently three major theories about the shape of the universe... one is that the universe exists in a plane ( like a sheet of paper). Another theory is that teh universe is in a plane that is the shape of a ballon... (to picture this, take a balloon, blow it up, and draw a bunch of dots all over it... that is the universe, on the suface of the balloon), and a third theory is that the universe is shaped like the glass of an Hour-glass. each of the theories recognize that the universe is expanding and that there IS a boundary.

I would call it a bottomless hole. Well, it has to be a hole for gravity to exist so stars and planets move in an orderly manner. Just imagine a universe without gravity, chaos would be widespread. Of course, no one would be "falling" in this hole as the universe it self has no gravity, but pockets of it in it.

No. It is probably the collision of two M-branes. This is the current theory of many theoretical physicists. Try investingating superstring theory, or M-theory. But be careful. The math involved is more complex than the mathematics that 99% of Phd physicists would understand.

I personally believe it's possible the universe could be a Super Super Massive Black Hole. If this is true, there are probably countless universes.

i actually cant answer the question at my level but yes there is a thing that struck me when i looked at ur question....
that there is a theory which supports the concept of existence of parallel universal systems ..which forces an idea to me that universe cant be a hole

No, it is a doughnut. Some say doughnut hole but they are a bunch of nuts.

I don't think so a hole is the absence of matter.

I've always thought the universe as a really big bubble with the galaxies and planets, etc... in it...
