Space is constantly expanding. Where a given galaxy was when you wrote your question is where it is now. For one thing, this means that no matter which galaxy we are talking about, virtually all of the other galaxies are moving away from that galaxy. The universe has no "edge or end" as such. It also means that the galaxies are not moving away through space, they are moving away with space (with space being created between them), as space itself expands. Think of a loaf of unbaked raisin bread you've set in a warm place to rise. The raisins are like galaxies or clusters of galaxies, and the dough, space. As the dough rises, the raisins move farther apart, but they've moved with the dough as the dough expended, not through the dough.

I would have to assume yes it has an end,, just like our solar system has an end or galaxy has an end and our universe should follow suit. yes the universe is very very large but im sure just like everything else man discovered had and end im sure the universe does too, its just gonna take us a while before we can proof it.

Yes the galexies in a universe revolve in an elipse and when galxies collide it is called the big bang and the universe restarts.

The most common theory, no true proof as yet, yes. Big bang - expansion of the universe from point of big bang-edges moving quickly away as universe expands- it is still expanding and moving.....go figure

Depending on if you mean an end as in (having edges that stop), or an end as in (out of time, poof - gone).
I think it may have edges, but does not end like death.
I think it expands and contracts in a never ending cycle of rebirth and return.
But I have no idea what may lie beyond it's edges, if it has any.

Great question! See the link below for a good discussion of this--it's not a simple answer.

Many very intelligent scientists have devoted their lives trying to find the answer to this question. Currently, there is no answer.

It is either endless or curves back on itself. We will not run into a wall at its end.
