Well, if by universe you mean the visible universe that we can see from Earth then the answer is no one really knows. See we can only see so far out into space; we only see to the point where light has been able to get to us since the beginning of the universe. The current held age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, so technically with the best telescopes ever we would be able to see as far out as 13.7 billion light years and that is it. We couldn't see further out cause the light could not have possibly reached us yet. This is why you couldn't know what is "beyond our universe." There could be something else beyond our universe, or it could end after that and we could never know. If there were another civilization out there beyond our visible boundary that was also looking for the edge they would have the same problem as we have; but the neat thing is that neither of us would know the other exists!

What is beyond the Universe? Heaven. When God destroys the heavens and the earth at the end of time, a new Heaven will emerge, in the entire infinity of space. Before God caused the big bang to create the universe, supposedly there was nothing. But there has to be something there. That place was, and is, Heaven. It's a tricky subject to understand, mixing religion with science, but it's the only explanation, therefore the truth.

I don't think anyone is aware of what is actually beyond our universe. Some will say that our universe as we know it is actually a small speck of what the actual universe really is. Some will say there are other dimensions & that our universe is not the only universe...the list could go on. But we don't have the technology to truly discover how vast the universe is. I think we are only a tiny part of the grand scheme of things.

To be nothing is to not exist, so, you don't have to worry about nothing, as it cannot hurt you... However, I have heard many theories about how large our universe is.
1: One theory is that our universe is a bubble (so to speak) and that as time passes by, our bubble grows, but it is being pushed against by millions of other Universal Bubbles and that one day, it will merge with another and pop.
2: I also heard that our universe is made of time. That the big bang caused time to flow and the galaxies to move apart, but that when the galaxies stop moving time will start to reverse, and we will return to nothing.
3: Now this is my theory, I believe that our Universe is infinite, but that there is a point where nothing can pass, because of phenomenons and other reasons.

The literal definition of Universe is "EVERYTHING". If it's true that there could be "other Universes" beyond our own, and many do beleive it is so...I would think that we would need to expand our definition of what exactly constitutes "EVERYTHING"!
Personally, i don't see how space and time can expand from the size of a pinpoint into the vast size it is now without some external field for it to expand into.

I believe that a star is like the nucleus of an atom, and all the electrons spinning around it are like the planets. I believe that the universe is endless and that our milky way is a spec of dust in another world like earth. Thats just an opinion though the real answer will probably never be found out.

the universe is expanding rapidly, this means that the universe is everything. some can argue that nothing isnt a real thing. the problem is that there isnt nothing. the laws of science stop this from happening. even if its just one partcial it is still something.
