If you ask an asrtophysisisisisist, "where is the point at which the Big Kaflooie occurred ?" , he will most likely look at the floor and tell you that , er, uh, the universe is like the surface of a balloon , yeah, that's it, a balloon, and it has no center. By this stock, evasive answer he will be saying the universe has no "ending" like the surface of that balloon. It's in the books, i.e.. "Foundations of Astronomy", Seeds, Sixth Edition, ISBN0-534-37855-2 (University of North Carolina- Asheville)
The same thing is at the end of the universe as is in some of the so -called scientific brains - not much.

Well there could be a couple of ways the universe could end.
Right now the universe is expanding, galaxies are now getting further and further apart, and it can continue to expand forever.
Or there is the Big Crunch Theory and eventually everything will stop expanding and it will contract. Galaxies will move towards each other at fast speeds, and they will collide and then "nothing" could be there.
You are going to ask what is nothing, and in honesty we don't know. Take a look at the Big Bang Theory, which is the theory of how the universe formed. 13.7 billion years ago there was an explosion with all of these hydrogen atoms, and they continued to expand. What was there before the Big Bang? We don't know, maybe the same thing as what will happen if the Big Crunch happens.

The universe is a finite entity,one day it did not exist and some time in the future the universe will go out of existence.
The universe came into existence as a single space-time pulse.
It expanded at an accelerated rate for the first thirty-billionths of a second the continued to expand at the speed of light.
It evolved into what we see and experience to-day.
It expanded into nothing,a cosmic interface that receded ahead of it.
The farthest galaxies that we see to-day don't exist any more
The universe is in an end stage of it's life and probably has stopped expanding,contrary to the interpretation of the red shift.

nothing is the absence of anything. What's there you say. I would have to say ,"the beginning". If the universe is still expanding, it must be the beginning for something. The universe is expanding so fast, if you were at the edge, you wouldn't be there anymore, because the edge of the universe just passed you at the speed of light.

Even scientist cannot be sure there is an end to the universe
What's there is just empty space- nothing will be sutible but I'm not allowed to use it.
So out there is empty space!
Except for light rays, planets, sun, stars etc.

According to Quantum Physics, the universe does not exist. Reality is not really there. There is no universe.

Presumably, by nothing, you mean space with no matter in it. Or do you mean space with neither any masses or energy fields such as a light beam.

What is there is not space-time. There is no "there" there.
