Is it just emptiness, no vaccum, no atoms. If you went there would you just fall forever or would you hit something at the bottom if so then what is beyond that. The Universe has to be infinate simply because there can never be nothing, even nothing is something.

How could there be more universes if the universe is everything?

Just to point out please don't say heaven, I'm an atheist and would want to look at this scientifically.

The question makes no sense. There is no 'vacuum' or 'atoms' or even 'emptiness'. There is only the expanding universe. Asking 'what does it expand into' is a misunderstanding.
The expansion of space is conceptually different from other kinds of expansions and explosions that are seen in nature. Our understanding of the "fabric of the universe" (spacetime) requires that what we see normally as "space", "time", and "distance" are not absolutes, but are determined by a metric that can change. In the metric expansion of space, rather than objects in a fixed "space" moving apart into "emptiness", it is the space that contains the objects which is itself changing. It is as if without objects themselves moving, space is somehow "growing" in between them.
Because it is the metric defining distance that is changing rather than objects moving in space, this expansion (and the resultant movement apart of objects) is not restricted by the speed of light upper bound that results from special relativity.

You are. The paradox is: to go within is to go without. The exterior universe is a reflection of the interior universe. Your own reflection in a mirror is not how you really appear, so the physical universe as you perceive it is also a 'reversed' image of inner reality. If you begin with exploring your own inner world, using your inner senses, you will find that the deeper you go, the 'larger' your perspective grows. If you continue further, you will see
increasingly greater dimensions of inner space that correlate directly with those 'dimensions' in outer space, ie, the planetary orbits, the solar system, the galaxy, etc.(don't let my use of the word dimension confuse you, to me, a dimension is an arena of activity) If you can continue your journey to the 'edge' of all that is within you,
and 'poke' your head through to the next larger perspective, you will find yourself right
back where you began, the first perspective, the point of view of the individual. In other words, you
will understand the phrase, 'you are within All That Is, and All That Is is within you'.

it's heaven, there is earth the ground, there is water, and sky, and air, and in the sky there is heaven, and nothing beyond the heaven, as heaven is the final place you go to after you die, provided you've been to church all your lifes and never sins and apoligise for your sins.
the answer to your question is heaven

More universes... things we can't imagine. You're right... there's no "wall" at the end of the universe.... it is infinite...

The potential for more universe.
And no, nothing is not something. Nothing is nothing.
