    Great question. I'll start with your last question, how could there not be an end. Suppose all the stars and galaxies are just in a big clump or blog. If you could back up far enough, you could see them all. That makes sense to us, right? But if that's the way it is, we're all in big trouble. Because that means that all the light and energy is just shining off from the known universe into a big nothing, and our universe is getting colder and colder and colder and will eventually burn out.

    For many folks, that just didn't seem right. All the energy of the universe just floats off into nothingness for ever?

    So for that, and probably other, reasons, the universe couldn't have an end.

    So how does that work. It means that if you take off in your spaceship and go in a straight direction, eventually, you'll come back to where you started...the universe is CURVED in a direction that we can't perceive (bent by matter itself) So that means, there is no end to universe, it just keeps evolving through time and all the energy gets recycled.

    It is kinda difficult to visualize it but the universe is self-contained. Even I don't have the means to make you completely understand it but I can give a similar example.

    Do you remember how you made a 1-dimensional paper at school? You just stick the backside of one end over the other end and lo-and-behold the second dimension vanishes. It is similar to a self-contained object in the sense that you don't have to have an end actually. You start from one point and keep travelling, you will end up at the same point at a later time.

    I hope I was clear with the explanation.

    The geometry of the universe is peculiar in that it is of a finite size but has no boundaries. Thus, there is no "end" and hence there is no such thing as "the other side". The usual analogy is an insect living on a balloon. The bug can crawl all over the balloon, but never encounters an end. Now suppose that the balloon is inflating, and you have a model of sorts of what the universe is like.

    area is the gap between gadgets. before the massive bang, the position there have been no gadgets, area did not exist. there is not any 'area' that the universe expands into - it creates the area because it expands. you will see that this via questioning about how we degree area - it really is the gap from the Earth to the Moon, or the Earth to the daylight, or our image voltaic gadget to the subsequent one, etc. yet when those gadgets did not exist, how ought to you degree area? In a very empty universe, the concept of area has no meaning. it really is like hunting for the starting up or end of a sphere. Or what's north of the North Pole? The question breaks down. a similar with area before there have been gadgets to degree any area with. and also like the floor of a sphere, the universe is finite, yet unbounded. A sphere is in hardship-free words so massive, yet has no starting up or end element. yet at the same time as a sphere is two-dimensional, the universe is a minimum of three (and likely better, in accordance to thread idea). So at the same time as the floor of the sector is unbounded yet finite, a three-dimensional universe is likewise unbounded, yet finite. because it expands, it creates better area, yet there is not something 'outside' of it. again, the question has no meaning, like asking what's outside of 'purple', case in element.

    The universe is curved in 4 dimensional space-time, so whatever direction you go you will eventually end up in the same place you started (if you go in a straight line in). This is the commonly held belief of big bang theorists. It's the same curvature that causes gravity: you can't see it but you can't avoid it, either.

    The "end of the universe" has never been defined so we do not know what is "on the other side". Maybe there are alternate universes?!

    Your question is linear;best to think cyclically. A circle has no begining or end, the starting point on a circle is arbitory.There is no begining and end;- just cycles. Simple enough?

    nobody really knows. the fartherst into space we've seen is the hubble ultra deep field which shows thousands of galaxies. many scientists believe that since the universe is expanding it will eventually lose its energy and recollapse and another big bang will occur and that will happen over and over again.

    Probably my answer may be idiotic, but my guessing is there may be ANTI-UNIVERSE which has ANTIMATTER.

    At the boundry between UNVERSE and ANTI-UNIVERSE neutralization of matter may occur.

    The prescence of antimatter is proved and antimatter is produced in LAB

    if their was an answer to that quetion everyone would know...and you would hear about the first astonaut that went to the end of the universe and he would tell us all about it.

    ...but since no one has we'll never know.
