If a high speed space craft ,with capacity to generate its own power,is sent into space,when will it meet the dead end?

Theoretically - never. There is no dead end, hence the term "infinite." The aircraft would only need initial propulsion to escape the Earth's atmosphere. In a vacuum it would move forever unless it got to close to a planet's or system's gravitational pull. Generating its own power would only be needed to sustain computers, electrical systems, and transmit data back to Earth.

Probably our generation may or may not get the answer. Because what is infinite is one day determined. What is long has become short due to speed. everthing depends on speed. In our generation we have not acheived or understood the speed at which we send an object may be light. But if any human can transform in to light and attain the speed and re form again to tell us what it was? at least we can easily tour our solar system and find out. The subject is so big yet so small the answer would be endless still ending some where. Where and when and how atleast our senses as of now could not see. A stephen hawking kind of a guy may give an answer. equally u find interesting answers from a spiritual hindu guru who says everything is MAYA or illusion. The space is as small as a marble and as big as infinty. U must read the answers with help of spiritual and stephen kind of a guy.

Well our (1)Solar System in the Universe is like a (2)drop of water in the Ocean.The distance in the First one is too much and finding the dead end in the first one is too much and finding it is just a waste of time with our current speed in the rocket.Even with a high speed space craft it will take ENORMOUS time. as even the distance between the Galaxies is just million light years

No. There cannot be . Since, the universe is said to be expanding, you will literally be stretching on and on to reach the end. Besides, because of its shape, you will never be touching the end of the universe. You will tend to come back to the same space again and again.

We'll never know. By the time the craft reaches the "dead end", Earth will probably have been destroyed. Comet, meteor, asteriod, sun going boom, WWIII, something like that. But it's interesting to think about, isn't it?

ooops....i cannot find the dead end to this world wide web nor even to a spider web....and how one can expect me to find dead end for space.
space in four dimensional and has no end. start a journey today and assume after 100 days when u're about to reach where you've started u'll find the space what 've seen today has changed....it's always transitory....U'll never reach the dead end unless u'r space craft being caught in a black hole!!!

A good idea to keep thinking about!By definition, SPACE means the absence of matter. So wherever your spacecraft goes. it cannot be absolute space!

Universe is like an Octagon.
If you could reach the sides of that Octagon, it's said to be the END point.

As the Universe is too big, there is no dead end there is only infinity.

according to the red shift theory galaxies move away from each other at a definite speed.so all galaxies move away from each other.so universe is expanding.so no dead end!!!
