There is no "after."
The universe is infinite and eternal.
Humans cannot comprehend the concept because we are simple creatures with limited intellects.

If you go to the edge of the universe and then go ten feet further, what would you find? Nothing? Would you smack right into a big wall of nothing? Would you come out the other side of the universe like in the game pac-man? (There are actually some physicist who believe the last scenerio is a possiblity. History will prove them to be the fools they are). The universe is expanding, but what is it expanding INTO? The reason these questions confuse some people is because of some ambiguities in the term 'universe'. Does the word refer to the collection of matter that is ever expanding outward from the big bang, or does it refer to the space that this matter is expanding into? From this point forward, let it refer to the SPACE the collection of matter (galaxies, etc) is expanding into. Now, we know that the collection of MATTER does not go on infinitely, for we can see the edge, and further, we know it is expanding from a single point of origin that exploded some such and such billions of years ago. But what about space itself? Is that infinite? Is there an edge to space? If there is an edge, what is on the other side? Some would say that the answer to this is that there is nothing at the edge of space, but consider: in the physical universe it would be absolutely impossible for nothing and something to co-exist. Imagine this scenerio: the only thing that exists at all is a pencil. This pencil floats in a sea of nothingness. The problem with such a scenerio is that nothing has no dimensions or properties at all. It is nothing. No space. But a pencil occupies space, it has dimension, so how could it be contained by nothing? How could a pencil be inside of nothing? Therefore, the proof that nothing doesn't exist is evident by the fact that anything exists. By extension, this would also prove that space is infinite, for were space to have an edge we would find ourselves in the absurd situation where nothing contains something (the universe, space and matter). So, is there an edge to space? Is our universe in a bubble of space inside of infinite nothingness. Does 1 + 1 = 3?
Premise: the fact that anything exists at all is proof that something has always existed, and that at no point has nothing ever been the state of existence. From the previous argument we can see that nothing and something can not co-exist in the physical universe, and that therefore space is infinite. But we should also establish that it is a logical absurdity to believe that there was ever a state of nothingness and that something was somehow created from nothing. So, to restate: Something can never come from nothing, therefore, something has always existed; and, nothing has never existed. If nothing does not exist, then something is infinite.
