is there anyone who can say what was the end or last place in the universe?.. I am thinking if there are many planets in so far far place in the universe that can not see even if there is a telescope and can not go even a hundreds years. Maybe there are many planets that we can not see until we die. Maybe there are PLANETS that can not discovered until we passed away. Maybe there are PLANETS that we can not go because of hundred years of time traveling to achieve or to go on that planet. Is there anyone who knows the shape of the whole universe?.. if it is a straight, maybe the planets of aliens are on the one end point and maybe we are in the one end point of that straight. what if the shape of universe is square?.. and what if the planets who have living or a life like people are on the four end points of the square?.. I am curious of the shape of the universe. Who knows.. maybe one day.. Earth can be on the most advanced high tech then we can go to so far far place in the universe in just a few moments. just wondering, that while we are living and keep on thinking.. there are still questions and mysteries that can not answer. Is there anyone that can prove the exact size of the universe?.. I am still thinking..

This is kind of a rhetorical question, and the best answer is that the universe is ever expanding, and at about this current moment, the universe is about 10 x 10^800 light years big, and every second, it expands, so that number i just stated is not credible, and please note that this is just an example. This just shows you that it would be impossible for any scientist to find the size of the universe. And I just want to state an example that our space ship, Voyager 1 is almost past our solar system at this current moment, 30 years after it was launched, so this should show you that just to travel 8 billion kilometers, it takes us 3 years, and some stars are about 12 billion LIGHT YEARS away from us, which is an EXTREMEly large distance, so it is pretty much impossible to travel to another galaxy by humans.

Who knows about all that? All I know is they (whoever "they" is) keep discovering more and more out there! It seems like it just keeps expanding. Then when us old people have it figured out they decide Pluto is not even a planet! What do you do with that one?? \0/ I mean that screws up the whole acronym we used to learn the planets... My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine .... Pizzas?? What now??? anyway, it seems to be endless... we may never know where the "ends of the universe are"... or IF they are!

i think theres far more than you can imagine. they keep finding more and more in the universe. i dont think the universe has a shape. i think its a really big open area with all of its wonders laying around. maybe you should try doing (obe) out of body experience so you can travel the universe yourself :)

Since this is a thinkers' group, I guess I might as well delve into philosophy. According to Oriental philosophy(Indian especially) The Universe is an illusion. Has this any relevance to your question? Oh yes. The universe as you had questions, may change its form in a coupla decades. No one really knows what it's like. No one can because it's not static. Only the infinite space or the Brahmam, as we put it, is the absolute truth! Such concepts, in my humble opinion, are beyond the comprehension of humans! :)
