By definition the universe is everything, all matter and energy that is in existence.
There is no such thing as "beyond the universe"

Because we are “trapped” in our space-time, it seems that there is nothing beyond because the Universe is everything, including space and time. But by it’s own definitions, it has boundaries.
If our theories are correct, then the Universe is infinite, meaning you can never reach an end both space and time. But, there is something that you could consider like an “edge” which is the boundary, that we could probably reach only going out of our current space-time.
String Theory (also called M Theory and the Theory of Everything) claims that there are infinite number of universes inside infinite number of branes or also called p-branes. It also claims that we actually live in an 11 dimension space-time and not just 4.
Of course, everything is theory and we don’t really know what is reality, at least for now.
The main problem is that we are all blind by the fact that we believe that everything should look and act like things here on Earth of our everyday life. We don’t understand or actually our brains tend to refuse the idea that everything is very different from what we actually see. We are only capable of perceive our surroundings by a limited way which includes a very small range of light spectrum (colors), and then a very “primitive” way to feel which is our skin, smell, taste, and hearing. Both smell and hearing are depending of the fact that there is a medium to transport either the wave (sound) or the particles (smell) and that medium is the air (water for fish).
So as you can see, we barely “catch” what is really out there. It is very hard for our minds to let go on what we are used to, and try to learn again what really surrounds us, the space-time that we live in. But little by little, using our latest technology, we should be able to unravel the truth.

We'll never know.
Since all space and time are within the universe, we'll never be able to leave to find out.
Also - since all space and time are within the universe, there is no space or time outside it ... which is about the same as saying "nothing".
It is cerainly possible that there are *other* universes (Multiverse theory), but they'll have their own Space/Time (or something else) totally separate from our own. We cannot point in the direction of another universe, because outside our universe there *is* no space - so no direction.

Answer that and you'll get the nobel prize!
Actually, science can't really answer that question since all it can do is observe and theorize about what we can observe and measure. We can only observe what is in our universe, not beyond it, so you're asking in the wrong forum.
People have theorized all sorts of things, such as the existence of other universes, perhaps ones with different physical properties or laws, but that is pure speculation.

There's no point in even trying to think about this question as our brains would not be capable of percieving anything beyond the physical boundries of our universe. This is why infinity exists in our universe and nothing can go faster than the speed of light.

The curvature and physics of Space/Time suggests that the Universe is finate, but also that it does not have any boundaries. The cosmos is shaped in such a way that our brains are inadequate to comprehend; literally nothing (not even the void of 'space') exists outside the boundaries of space/time.

"What is at the edge of the universe?" When my grandma asked my mom, my uncle came and said: "A HUGE TOILET".
Anyway. First, notice that 1D exists in 2D. You draw one line and imagine you exist on it as a dot. If you're in 1D world, you can't get out of it. But if you escape to 2D world, you can hop off that line.
Next: 2D exists in 3D. Draw a square and imagine you're inside. If you're in the 2nd dimension, you can't get out of there. But if you escape into the 3rd dimension, you can jump out of the square.
And then: 3D exists in 4D which is the dimension of time. We are in the dimension of height x width x depth, plus an interesting flow called Time.
Therefore this means that the dimension of our universe exists in the 5th dimension.
So I believe, beyond the universe is the 5th dimension.
