Some really interesting replies...thanks..although my head now hurts! Its a lot to get your head around...if I can ever fully understand quantum phyisics, I might get my head around this question! Cheers people!!

Yes there is an end...and then you start at the beginning of the next universe and so on into infinity....I think you might be right I think there is a secret door...let me know if you find it.

Space is only determined by what's in it. Because space is absolute nothing, It only exists between objects. And as light travels through space, once it dwindles to nothing, so does space. If you have say only two objects existing in space and one is traveling away from the other, You are creating space AND time between the two. If you have only one object in the entire universe, Nothing exists outside this object. Not even space. And if you were to make this object travels thousands of miles an hour, when you stop accelerating, it is no longer moving because there is nothing else to compare it's speed with. It's the only thing in existence. It's weird, but you can't make something out of absolute nothing! And if you have a door at the end of the universe, then you have space between you and the door. Nothing beyond. and you opened it and put you're hand through it, You have created space between the door and out to the tip of you're finger. Remember space is absolute void of everything. Two or more objects separated from each other forms space and distance. And if either moves in relation to the other, that creates space and time.

I will take the first part of your question as it makes sense and nobody answered i.
There will be AN end to the universe. Not a big crunch, but proton decay. We are living in times when there are gazillionz of stars and galaxies, etc. These will eventually go out through a process of proton decay (helped along by the 2nd law of dynamics).
In one disant day, the last star will go out and there will be no more - ever.

Speculation and theory has always been the stuff that people use to construct a meaningful view of the cosmos by way of rationalising our consciousness of it.
The narrative of science and philosophy has overlapped since flint was used to carve idols and both construct all the necessary inventions and conventions to ensure a permanent state of conflict.among social groups.
The only end to the universe is the precise moment in time when human consciousness comes to an end - an unpleasant reminder of its feral humaniacal destiny .

Most scientists believe that space is positively curved in an extra dimension. Therefore, if you travel in a straight line from any point in the Universe, ignoring the expansion of space, you will end up where you started.

lets say you are a drunk. (i am not implying anything, honest)
one day you decide to begin on the path to sobriety, every day your life gets a little less cloudy, a little more clear-headed.
finally you are stone-cold sober! Congrats!
now, you ask "What will happen if I stay on the path? What is PAST the point of sobriety?"
"huh? wait!" you cry, "how can i go PAST the point where I have zero alcohol in my system? that question is dumb."
A Ha!

Nothing because if there was something it would be in the universe. Also the universe is bounded and unbounded at the same time. The edge is there but it is physically unobtainable.

You're struggling with the concept of nothing, aren't you. There's simply nothing because there's nowhere for anything to be. If there isn't a place for a thing to exist, how can there be anything there?

The beginning of the side you started from.

the same end...
Spacetime is curved so if you are at one end of the Universe you are at the other end at the same time..
Of course, logically extending this - it means that you are at the end of the Universe... what's the weather like there?
