We don't and possibly never will know.
It's about the same as what I had for breakfast though - It's not important and will never effect you so don't worry about it.

medical opinion is split on the question. some scientists imagine that the universe is countless, yet that has sme extremely unusual implications. in certain, it signifies that each little thing that's bodily obtainable ought to ensue. So someplace there should be a precise reproduction of planet earth, except that it really is finished of monkeys randomly typing the finished works of Shakespeare. convinced, extremely... probably maximum folk of cosmologists carry the view that the universe is finite yet unbounded. the perfect way of attempting to understand the idea is through analogies in decrease numbers of dimensions. imagine a a million-dimensional being which lives in a circle (which skill the curved line, no longer the realm it encloses). it would want to bypass everywhere it likes in that circle, yet won't be able to step outside the circumference of the circle. it would want to bypass thus far because it likes, besides the very undeniable actuality that the circle is of finite length. After a at the same time as, it unavoidably finally ends up the position it all started. The circle is finite, yet unbounded. in the 1D creatures international, the circle has no ends. Now imagine a 2d creature living on the exterior of a sphere. lower back, it would want to holiday thus far because it likes, in any route (in the exterior of the sector) that it likes, and it is going to by no skill come to an 'side'. the exterior of the sector is finite, yet unbounded. Now scale it up one extra measurement, and doubtless that's our international. we can holiday thus far as we like without ever coming to the 'side' of the universe - besides the undeniable fact that the quantity of the universe continues to be finite.

we don't really know do we ... this is what makes scientists spend endless amounts of money in space research.
I am inclined to believe,we are only puny specs in a vast universe,( like amoebas in a drop of water)
Who knows what is beyond our reach .
On the other hand as you say space may be a smaller capsule around us, than we think
But i am the last one to answer your question ;
I still have doubts we ever got to the moon
( " we was duped LOL")
And who is to say we will not drop off the edge of the world ,if we go far enough !
Interesting question for a Monday morning
:)

Well, we'll never know until we get to that corner, eh! I mean we haven't found it yet. We know for sure that the universe spreads for x amount of time so I would say that if there was a corner it would be quite a long way away, not the sort of corner you could go to to pick up a loaf of bread and a pint of milk!

That's a great question, I believe that the some Galaxy's have been measured there expanding constantly, example imagine you had a pool and you poured a solution lighter then h20, in the middle of it, if all sides were = in motion it would stay were you dropped it, but if all sides were expanding it would pull in all directions, this is proof that the Galaxy's expanding,

We don't know anything for sure, a lot of what we 'know' are really only theories, try reading Stephen Hawkin's Brief History of Time, it's a fascinating book and will keep make your brain explode! Also, to which corner are you referring?

We don't know that it goes on forever, but high powered telescopes can see stars that are 10millions of light years away!
Thats aproximately 58,784,998,140,000,000,000 miles away. Pretty damn far!
