Beings as we can not measure or see beyond anything except our own universe everything else is just theory. We can come up with many theories as to what is beyond our universe. Absolute void, another universe, etc. That is what is so wonderful about the unknown, it leaves to great ideas and great discussion. As well as to the advancement, experimentation, and exploration for answers.
Remember back some 500 years we had a theory that the world was flat. A few brave people sailed off in tiny wooden ships and never fell off.
We have come along way in a very short time. Only the future holds the truth to your answer.

Nothing is the only correct answer, but unfortunately there are a lot of ignorant people on Yahoo! Answers. Your premise is also incorrect, showing a gross ignorance of elementary cosmology. The edge of the universe is not expanding; the UNIVERSE is expanding. The distance between every point in the universe is getting further away from every other point in the universe. Since that includes most of the things we use to measure the universe, we don't notice it.

Non-universe.
The answer is that we don't know. If the universe has an edge, we don't know what lies beyond it.
The best-explained answer I ever read was in a book by Isaac Asimov. Imagine an intelligent ant, living in the center of the continent. She has walked as far as an ant can walk, climbed as high and looked as far as an ant can see. In all directions, she can see nothing but the continent. The universe.
One day, she meets an ant who lives by the sea shore. (Perhaps the second ant stowed away in a car.) The second ant tells her that if you travel a vast distance to the end of the universe, you'll eventually reach ... non-universe.

I think there must be something. There has to be something on the other side of black holes. I look at it like a big whirlpool, or tornado of sorts, perhaps, why not? So, I propose that if it's sucking everything, including light, in, .....it's got to get "dumped" somewhere on the other side. Like a whirlpool in the ocean, things get sucked in, but get dumped. It's something noone knows. It doesn't make sense to me that there's just nothing on the other side, or on the next "plane", or dimension.

I guess we'll never know what's on the other side. Most of your answers will probably be nothing.

edge of universe is not expanding , our universe is expanding. and there is no limit in space. there is no end in any direction in space, it is beyond our emagination.
