nobody really knows what's beyond the universe.In fact,it wouldn't even be possible,becuase the universe is infinite,so it would take an infinite amount of time to get to the edge....and even if you could get there,it won't even be the edge anymore!!

One ofthe problems with answering questions like this is that people expect the answer to pretty much go along with what they already know. So, if you blow up a balloon, where does it expand into... into the air around itself. But with things that are really, really large or really, really small, like atoms or the universe, it doesnt work that way. The way the universe works is NOT like a balloon or like anything else that is in our everyday experience. The speed of light, the "space" between the stars and other aspects of the universe work predictably and reasonably by their OWN rules, not by what humans think is "reasonable."
The universe is not expanding "into" anything. There is not anything outside it. It is all there is. The "space" itself is what is expanding. Like, before the big bang there was no space. And then space started to exist and got bigger and bigger. Does this sound odd. Yes. It is extremely odd by our normal standards, the way we usually think. Nonetheless, there is a lot of experimental data to show that it is correct.
An interesting book that will get you started thinking about how this works and how scientists found out about it all, is Bill Brysons "A Short History of Nearly Everything" - anyone who has had a course or two in high school science can read this.

The universe is a bubble in an unimaginably large glass of beer. It formed near the bottom of the glass and is expanding as it rises. Eventually, it will become either part of the head or ingested and then farted.
So, the answer is beer.
I think about this every time I down a cold one. Now, so will you.

I have a friend which happened to be from the out-outerspace. He is an outer-space extra-terrestrial alien and he told me the universe is expanding their ways. The thing fatten up so deeply, it already reaching their living and breathing space and they are hardly some tiny living particles of the universal time period. It is just like cromagnon-time period for the earth personals and amically singers to the goddish period. Psalms or not to be psalms.......He is also a choir boy?

Expands into universe. It is like a baloon that never blasts. It can go on expanding

I guess, universe is not similar to gas that expands inside a container.

theory: if you should treat your body as a temple , and your temple is ever expanding , and you are the center of your own universe , the we can hypothozize that we are part of a large entity that is our universe and it is getting fat .

The universe isn't expanding... we're just all shrinking...
