Based on the best current cosmological model, the universe is 13.7+-0.2 billion years old, it is flat (to within 2%) and therefore probably infinite. So space goes on forever. If you fell into a black hole (BH), the tidal forces would rip your body apart long before you entered the event horizon. For example, if you fall feet first, your feet would be closer to the BH and would be pulled more strongly than your head. Eventually the difference would be enough to rip your body apart. If you could survive that, somehow, you would fall through the event horizon and reach the center singularity in a finite time from your point of view. What happens at the center singularity is completely unknown at this point in time. To understand that, we would need a theory of quantum gravity and there are no good, self consistent theories of quantum gravity at this time. Once you cross the event horizon, you cannot escape from the BH -- no rocket motor or rope or anything could get you back out. Even light cannot pass out of the event horizon - hence the name "black hole".

Beyond space? More space, only much farther away. It probably does go on forever. But then again, forever has no end. The energy in the universe is finite.The loss of energy of everything causes entropy and then it all stops expanding. And then it collapses into a black hole, And then the big bang and it all goes around again. But forever to me is "Will I personally every see the end?" Nope.
A black hole is a region of space-time into which matter has collapsed, and out of which light may not escape. You would never remember getting anywhere near to the event horizon of a black hole, as you, your thoughts and your ship would be destroyed by evrything else in space crushing you. Actually space is not a perfect vacuum. There are lots and lots of little pieces of star breath everywhere.

Nothing! Either space goes on forever (is infinite) or it comes back around in
some kind of closed loop, but the way we understand space right now, it's
impossible for it to have any edges, and so there's no direction you could point
and say "50 yards in that direction space ends". Since there aren't any ends, th ere isn't really any
way to understand what "beyond" means. But there could be other things that
"exist" that are somehow outside our own universe - parallel universes!

Know one knows for sure wheather space is infinate. Current thought is that it is finite and expanding.
What is beyond space? I like stephen Hawking's answer to questions like this. He claims such questions may be malformed, like asking where is the top of a ball
What happens if you go into a black hole... that's easy. you get instantly ripped apart and crushed along with the vehicle you came in. Even your atoms get ripped apart and crushed

Space is believed to be like a giant sphere, if you go in a straight line as far as you can, you get back to where you started, according to current theory
If you went in a blackhole, you would be crushed by sheer gravitational field strength, and sucked in. Time would appear slow down as you got closer to the event horizon, until when you reached it you would appear to be stationary, to an external observer
The centre is, in theory, a sheer ball of crushed mass, if you imagine over 99.99...% of an atom is empty space, all of this is gone in a blackhole.

nothing is beyond space according to einsteins relativity space is like a rond ball which has collapsed and closed on itself. black holes r highly dense collapsed stars which have enough gravity to stop lgt from escaping. so if we enter the black hole each atom of our body will separate as we are pulled towards its centre.

if you went into a black hole you would be infinitety stretched. The farther you move into the hole you start to rip apart, then those peices start to rip apart and so on. Until there are billions of peices of you that can no longer break up. You would be dead of course.

In a black hole nothing can happens anymore.
