I think Universe has no end.Better to keep it that way.Otherwise more Questions like this may arise.I consider universe to an infinitely sized sphere ,since it has no end.

In order to answer this question, a prior question must first be addressed. Here is the first question: Is there anything else other than the universe? This is to ask whether or not you think there IS an ‘outside the universe’.
If you answer yes, then you are allowed to put anything you want there, it really does not matter because no one will ever, in all of time, be able to get there to check your answer. Indeed, no one will even be able to get information form there to test your ideas. This is simply because it will, by definition of the size of the universe, take more time than the universe has existed for the information to reach us, or any other part of the universe that we could ever get to, even if we could get to the ‘edge’.
As a result of the line of thinking it is useless to speculate about the ‘outside’ of the universe. We are forced to accept the ‘fact’ that the universe is all there is. That’s it. This universe is all there is. This universe cannot have an edge, at least not in the sense that there is a place where the universe ends.
If you were to travel to the edge of the universe, if you were to set off in a rocket ship headed in any direction and if you were to go in a straight line (Which, by the way is not possible since the very space you are traveling in is not, itself, straight!) you would never reach the edge because, as the universe expands it would expand faster than you could catch up with it. Or, if you could travel faster than the expansion rate (And if you could live forever!)you might be surprised to find yourself back where you started!

Not a bad analogy, but the current theory states that there is no "outside" the universe, no edge or end the way there is with a cell or any other analogy we can come up with to help us understand.
As the universe expands, its actually creating space. Often people use the inflating balloon as a way to picture this, but any example we use breaks down when we talk about the end of the universe - there just isn't one.
For most people that's impossible to imagine, but there it is.

imagine zooming out on the universe...
...a sphere, around it is thoughts, because thought drives the universe...maybe in the thought floats other universes, and if you go to the end and try to reach for the thought physically, by stretching out you arm toward the end of the universe, you will go through, but your arm will disintigrate on the other side because the other side can only be reached mentally. But because the universe is constantly expanding, the end grows further and further away from you, and your hand/arm/how much ever you stretched out into thought, can only be returned to you through imagination and thought. =D wow that was insightful

There is no end of the universe that we know of yet. Since we can't figure out how far it goes, we call the universe as an infinite amount of space/matter. However, since we do know about black holes (we send sound waves that never return) the universe seems to be destroying itself.

Your theory has is unlikely. The best thinkers see the universe getting colder and colder and everything getting so far apart that even if some creature existing it would see no galaxies or stars.

The Universe will end either in endless darkness as it expands forever or in a sudden "Big Rip" as dark energy finally overcomes the forces holding atoms and atomic nuclei together.

What's at the end of the universe?
........Apparently a restaurant where the food is dying...to be eaten.
All joking aside, I like your theory, that we are a tiny part of something huge but I don't think it's alive.

No one knows for certain what is beyond the universe. It's a good analogy but not much scientific explanation backing it.

Who knows. It drives crazy to try to imagine it. Everytime I try come up with a theory of my own, my brain hurts so much to not be able to capture an idea. I can't even find the word to describe how it feels to think about it. Ah!!!
Your words hurt (person above me)!!!!
