Think of the surface of a ball. We'll make it a stretchy, inflatable ball.

It has no edges or corners, but the surface area is limited, and if we inflate the ball, the surface area gets bigger.

A two-dimensional creature living on the surface of the ball as it was being inflated would see that it was getting bigger, but would not be able to detect any edges. He also wouldn't be able to point to a spot and say "that is the center", because the center is the center of the ball, which is not in the surface and he can't point at any spot that isn't in the surface.

That's about what we think the universe is like, except in more dimensions.

People have different opinions about this question; some think that it is never ending, others think it is not.
