anything at all?

What does the universe look like beyond the limits to our visible universe?

No. As far as we understand it, beyond the "edge" of the universe (the universe has no edge, apparently, but that's a question of geometry, so we'll call it an edge for the sake of it) is nothingness. Absolute, total nothingness, where physical laws don't apply because there's nothing for them to apply TO.

well nobody knows, we are to primitive to understand even all the aspects of our universe. What I believe is that we are in an ocean of universes, bobbing up against each other. The universe is believed to be about 12-13 billion light years across And the Big Bang was said to have exploded about 14 billion light years. I believe that if you travel passed the outer limits of the universe, that you will reach blackness, and if you look back at the expanding matter, it will be traveling towards you. Or there could be some type of spherical shell around our expanding universe.

Everything with which we can react, everything that can affect us in any way must be part of our universe. There cannot be a beyond that can interact with our universe because the moment it did, it would be part of our universe. There might be other universes but as they cannot interact with ours they might just as well not exist. We can never demonstrate that they do because such a demonstration would immediately make them part of our universe. Consequently, there is nothing beyond our universe.

There is only ONE universe, but billions of galaxies inside it.
Our galaxy has life, and there MIGHT be life in other galaxies,
if they're arranged like ours, but we don't know that for sure.
Nothing or nobody has been outside our own galaxy to find
the answer. The universe is endless--it has no boundaries,
borders, or edges.
If there IS life on planets in other galaxies, it's only a matter of
time before technologies (somewhere) are developed to
communicate across the vastness of space.

Quite possibly. Imagine yourself as a fish living in water- a sea or reservoir. You believe the water is your universe consisting of the water only. One day you are lifted out of it into some unbreathable medium (air). Mercifully you are returned to the water. What just happened? Did you go to another universe?
Play out the same scenario for a virus, bacterium, etc.
At the edge of "what you know" is something larger and different in structure and composition.
Thus, I think it is quite possible our universe has some structure whereby it fits into some larger one. Outside the boundaries of our universe, who knows what medium or structure there is?

No. Because there is no 'beyond'. This is like saying 'throwing something away.' on Earth. It's a closed system. There is no 'away' to throw anything.
And, in the same way, there is no 'beyond' to the Universe.

Scientists will tell you no.
I say we have absolutely no way of knowing because we have never interacted with it. It's possible that another universe is expanding and will eventually hit ours. We'll probably never know.

String Theory states that there are more than one universe, but, an infinite amount.

yes there is. another universe. and beyond that---it continues

there is no end so there is no beyond.
