I think that's very depressing.

That kind of like asking, "After everything is considered, is there anything else?"
And the answer is, no. If there was anything else, then you haven't considered everything, have you?
There is no "outside" or "beyond" the universe, because the universe is everything that there is.

The phrase "outside the Universe" or "beyond the Universe" is logically inconsistent. Since space-time is a property of our universe, there is no space and no time in the "place" where it's not our Universe.
But the Universe is larger than the OBSERVABLE universe. It's only possible to see a 14-billion-light-year sphere due to speed-of-light constraints; but the physical Universe is more like 100 billion light-years in diameter.
The universe is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. If that's not enough for you, then by all means, go and be depressed -- you're pathetic.

The universe Is so big you could not even imagine. However They say that the universe began with a bang, so what the hell caused the bang, what was there to bang and what did bang. I think if we new what the big picture was we would see there are many areas and Space i.e the universe is just one type of area which has many differnt things in it and the is another area that might have somthing else in it. But that is just what i think I also think humans are just somthing that happend by chance and there is no other smart life forms out there. Think about it all the greatest dicoveries happened by chance and what is the chance of that happning somwhere else

That would be depressing if there wasn't. If you are familiar with the second law of thermodynamics (energy cannot be created or destroyed, meaning matter cannot just appear) then you must wonder how all existence came to be. The only possible explanation is that it was created by a supernatural being whom we know to be as God. Don't take this as the only evidence. There is plenty more. So to answer your question, God is what lies beyond this universe, and those who know Him will meet Him in the afterlife.

Contemporary science doesn't even remotely understand what the universe is, and reality is constructed of components that do not obey established physical laws, so they make up new ones!
Cosmologists are currently coming to some very new conclusions about these things and the truth may be something that changes everything we thought we knew!

What exactly does beyond this universe mean? Especially if it's finite. Do you mean dimensions? I think I would be more concerned with what happens within an average lifetime to be more realistic. And then with regards to life after death.

Yes, when we reach the edge of the universe there is a big sign there and written on the sign are the words:
STOP HERE YOU CAN GO NO FURTHER

It's really a sort of 'non-question' since the Universe (so far as we know) doesn't *have* an 'outside' or 'beyond'.

If we believe that we are only lying to ourselves
Besides.why would our own government be broadcasting into space and making laws about our interaction with other ET life forms if there wasn't the possibility?

Don't worry I don't think there is a brick wall holding the universe and that is the end.
