The universe is considered to be mathematically a finite thing, but is still expanding from the initial event as most theorists claim. Space/ time was described as a balloon ever increasing in size. As we would move about it's surface exploring it, so that would be the analogy. It would seem to me though that we would be on the inside exploring, though. Membrane theory suggested that we exist because of an interaction of dimensional membranes. Could we, if that were an accurate description move about there? That same theory, if I am correct also mentions a dimension determined mathematically to exist that is smaller than can be seen but yet encompasses the whole of this universe. One has to sit and ponder the implications of all that for quite some time to really discover how many questions that brings to mind about just such as the question you ask.

U are thinking like an ant on the moon. For us don't try to think far beyond our reach. There are many pit falls out there . Gravity of a sun can bend light ,so u don't have any idea what u are seeing is there or not. If u spend many generations trying to get there it may not be there.Consider that if it is 50 light years away it is totally out of our reach. It could be circular and what u are seeing is us a few million years ago.

Space can go on forever. Matter and energy have a limit, but the part of the universe with matter is still very, very big

erm, how to put this... space isn't exactly linear... may come as a bit of a shock to you, but its curved and distorted in ways the human mind cannot imagine... imagine a creature which can only see in two dimensions, possibly an ant on the face of the earth, and then explain to it that the world is curved... and you have humans in space-time, which is 4-d... and there is nothing outside it. as in there is no outside it, not even vacuum. simply, there is NO outside of outer space.

there's a history at the back of each thing interior the evening sky. it incredibly is the cosmic microwave history radiation. it incredibly is a type of sunshine with a frequency outdoors the style that is seen via people. you could form of think of of it as a "coloration" that we are going to no longer see. because of the fact we will not see it, it seems black to us. Black is the absence of sunshine, so whilst basically mild that we are going to no longer see is cutting-edge, it is indistinguishable from black. what's at the back of the history? the commencing up of the universe. looking out into area is calling returned in time. the interior facet in area of the cosmic microwave history radiation is the commencing up of the time whilst the universe became clean to mild. in the previous that, the priority interior the universe absorbed or scattered mild in the previous it may desire to holiday very a techniques. As such, we can not see what existed in the previous then.

Einstein theories say that space is curved through the 4th dimension, so head off in one direction far enough and you'll come back where you started.
