Space has no limit or edge. There is no such thing as beyond space..... There is only space.

Space maybe there is no "be-ond just just more and more space. although there is a theroy which suggests that space is a curved ball and outside of it is nothing.

We honestly do not know.

If you do to please tell someone....

But we can't see it the edges of the universe because of the expansion of space. Yes space as we know it is getting larger.

The best way I can describe it is like this. Picture yourself in New York city moving north, the streets are named by number between 1-220. Now lets make it like space and expand, because we are using a scaled down model of the universe lets use a scaled down model of time. For every ten minutes that passes by each block grows by 10%. That means the distance of ten blocks now will be the distance of 11 blocks an ten minutes later. Third for arguments sake lets say that you are a scaled down photon of light and you can walk a block in a minute.

Now lets say you are of 1st st and want to walk to 10th st. You start walking thinking it will only take you ten minutes to reach your destination, but after 10 minutes go by you realize you are still a block from your destination, and you will be late.

It doesn't make to much difference on the small scale just a difference in arrival time. Now lets say you want to walk from 1st to 220 st. With your lesson above you learn by the time you reach your first ten minute marker every ten blocks will have added 1 block. That means that in the ten minutes spend walking ten blocks, your destination has move away by 22 blocks. Well this is annoying as you can only walk ten blocks in ten minutes and the distance between you and your destination is growing faster then you can cover it. No matter how long you walk you will never get there.

Well for objects beyond the edge of the observable universe this is what is happening. The reason we can't see them is that because of the HUGE distances between us, space is growing faster then the light is moving. So even if that photon of light was moving directly at us, it would never reach us.

Now scale up the blocks to millions to billions of light years (9.2 trillion miles) and scale the minutes up to billions of years and you get closer to how our universe functions.
