There is no end to the universe. The universe is infinite.

Deep, very deep!
Well as you are probably aware, the Universe is basically a lot of 'stuff' in a hell of a lot more 'nothing'.
(excuse the 'kiddie talk' it really is an incredibly complicated subject)
The Universe is BIG,and I mean B-I-G! The word itself roughly translates as 'Everything'.
The 'nothing' in which the universe is, well, it is much, much bigger.
There are many, many Galaxies within the Universe.
We inhabit 1 of these Galaxies somewhere rimwards of the Universal Hub.
There are no ways to see what is beyond our Universe because it is so big.
Theories are that as there are billions of planets, in billions of systems, around billions of stars, in billions of galaxies then carrying that through, there will be billions of Universes within the Multiverse.
The question should, I think, be - are there more Universes outside this one?
Believe it or not, theorists have an answer. And the answer appears to be, Yes.
To understand why, you have to go back to the Big Bang, that mysterious, mother-of-all-explosions that most astronomers believe spawned our universe. One second, according to theory, there was nothingness. The next, our cosmos sprang into existence. Nature seems to have pulled off the feat of getting something -- in fact, everything -- for nothing.
As unimaginable as that sounds, it comes straight out of the theory of quantum mechanics, a set of mathematical rules that describe how the universe works on the smallest scales, inside atoms. Quantum mechanics says that matter and energy can appear spontaneously out of the vacuum of space, thanks to something called a quantum fluctuation, a sort of hiccup in the energy field thought to pervade the cosmos.
Cosmologists say that a quantum fluctuation gave rise to the Big Bang. And the thing about quantum fluctuations is that they can happen anywhere, any time. And if our universe was born out of a quantum fluctuation, say theorists, then it's possible that other quantum fluctuations could have spawned other universes.
Of course this could always be completely wrong!

Depends on how you define The Universe.
If you think of it as all the matter and space that was generated in the Big Bang then we live in a spherical universe. Because of the total gravity of our universe light would not escape it, nor would any artificial space craft. Therefore we could never escape it to find out what was beyond.
Now you may conceive of a totally empty (no matter, radiation, yobba waves or anything) void outside our universe's Event Horizon. Somewhere "out there" may be another spherical totally self-contained universe like (or different from) ours. Neither of us could ever know of the other's existence. We couldn't even collide because there would no interaction with anything else to create a force to move us towards each other.

Lets say you were new to this earth. If you walked in a straight line for as long as you lived you would imagine that the earth did not end ie it had no boundaries.
We are all knew to the universe, and whether it be curved like a sphere, flat as a pancake or even have negative curvature it is still probably so massively enormous for our small brains to accurately and imaginatively comprehend that a similar conundrum as being new to this earth would occur.

I have often wondered about this. Science was my favorite subject in school. Edwin Hubble in 1929 discovered that the universe is expanding. I guess even if you were able to travel through space in a rocket for many years you could never reach the end of space!!

no end it goes on to infinity! yes its everlasting and its a frightening thought as it is when you depart this world you remain dead for ever that's if you don't console yourself with the other world, so make the best of this one just in case we have got that bit wrong/// go out in the kitchen and make a nice cup of tea, because that's morbid isn't it CJDEC oh and sleep well!!!!

A void.
Similar to the space between the planets and sun, or the space between the electrons and nucleus.

From the looks of it, there'll be a CBB house with a load of idiots in it. If you think the end of the universe is a daunting prospect, seeing Jade is a worse one!!!

There's a Restraunt where you can watch the Big Bang. The greatest firework display ever.
