I always imagine the space as like a ball and we are in it , can you know were a sphere starts and ends?
but you can't imagine the end because the end of the space because it's too far from you , it's beyond our knowledge.
there is also what do they call , the string theory
it tells that the universe has not 3 dimensions , not 4 or 5 , but 12 dimensions but we can't realize that

By asking what is after the end of space you imply that the universe itself is finite and has a boundary. This being the case, i would suggest that after the edge of the boundary of the universe there is the void - an area where there exists nothing. Exactly like the space that there was before the big bang. To say that the universe is expanding into something would suggest that it is expanding into what there was before the big bang, ie nothingness. The void.

Depends on the cosmology you subscribe to. Either the universe is infinite but bounded, like a sphere, or it's infinite and unbounded, like a big open sheet going on forever.
If it's the first, the answer could be "the back of your head", because you'll have gone all the way around the universe and come back upon yourself.
If it's the big open rubber sheet, there really is no end of space.
Alternatively, you could believe in Asatru, in which case at the end of space is this really, really big tree ...

This question was effectively answered when someone else asked only a couple of days ago 'what the universe was expanding into?' It's basically the same question and thus attracted pretty well the same type of responses.
String theory, by the way , has been superseded by Brane theory and both require 11 dimensions not 12.

If you mean by physical distance, there is none as you'd never be able to reach the end in the first place.
If you mean by an 'end of the world' type thing, current models predict that all atoms in the universe would be so thinly spread out nothing could function.

There's really not an end! And that's why we call it 'Space'.
But there needs to be some end, I agree, but that is beyond imagination!

The observable universe. Space refers to the empty parts of the universe with the exception of plasmas etc.
