We have no way of knowing the answer. Will the universe ever end at all? Again, we don't know.
Right now, we suspect that the universe may expand forever; we cannot "see" enough mass to cause the expansion to slow down. But then, we can't see enough mass to keep the Milky Way together; it is spinning entirely too quickly for the mass that we know about to generate enough gravity.
Some scientists have postulated some form of "dark matter", and perhaps even a corollary "dark energy" to account for the mass we cannot see. If there is enough (and if it exists at all!) then the universe may, perhaps, slow its expansion and collapse into itself, at some unimaginably distant date in the future.
But we're guessing, and scientists try not to guess. Much.

No the universe does not end its just hard for humans under stand because where a small planet in a big universe.
Thanks alot.
Answer (2)
What I always thought of was the word nothing, nothing is something by being itsself which is nothing...but that's something still so im guessing space doesn't end and just keeps going even if "nothing" is there. Hopefully that made at least some sense. Also if it goes on forever then that kind of makes everywhere the center of the universe too right?

∙ 10y agoThe universe is probably finite and unbounded. A sphere's surface is finite and unbounded. You can travel along the surface of the earth without ever hitting a boundary. The universe is like that, only in a multi-dimensional sense. It is not something that can be easily pictured or imagined.
No, All of the Dark energy "pushes forward" and Dark Matter "pushes back" are equal. So for all eternity the dark substances will act like a couple of equally strong two year olds, fighting over a toy.
The previous paragraph is incorrect. The combination of all the mass in our Universe -- both baryonic and dark matter -- is insufficient to prevent dark energy from increasing the rate of expansion in our Universe. The latter has been "winning" for about five billion years.
there is no perfect end of universe .
We currently do not know where the universe ends, or if it "ends" at all.
The consideration for whether our universe is truely endless depends on one's determination of what the universe means to them. It could be said that the universe is endless because its very determination is built upon the evolving consideration of a reality within the dimensional degrees of SpaceTime convergence. It might be stated that our perspective of universal reality is bounded by our fourth dimensional frame of reference for existence within this SpaceTime continuum. In this sense of existence, it might be stated that our universe is not infinite; for outside this fourth dimensional abstraction of the SpaceTime continuum, our reality of existence has no meaning.
Yet within the consideration of our traditional fourth dimensional existence, scientists agree that the Theories of Relativity and Special Relativity bound our universal reality with a definable SpaceTime continumm. By virtue of these theories, expectations are extrapolated. One such expectation is that once the universe was once created by the Big Bang, the universe will end in a Big Crunch. Another expectation is that once the universe was once created by the Big Bang, the universe will end in a Big Rip. Therefore, by virtue of these theories, our universe within this fourth dimensional abstraction, will eventually evolve beyond its current dimensional limitations. And, as stated before, outside this fourth dimensional abstraction for our SpaceTime continuum, our reality of existence has no meaning.

∙ 10y agoAccording to current understanding, there is not really any definite moment at which it will end. It will simply expand faster and faster, available energy will decrease over time (Second Law of Thermodynamics!), and the reduction in available energy will make it harder and harder for any type of life to survive. However, it will be many, many billions of years before this happens.

∙ 12y agoThe universe is extremely vast; incomprehensibly huge. None the less, some day it will cease to exist as we currently perceive it. The sun wil burn up completely in about 5 billion years or so. At that time the solar system will no longer be habitable. Will humans be around at that time? No one knows.
The theory that currently has the most support in explaining what we think will end the universe is one called "The Big Freeze". The big freeze theory claims that the universe will continue to expand until it reaches nearly absolute zero and all things cease to move. This is supposed to happen in about 10100 years. For comparison the universe is currently 13.7 Billion years old (13,700,000,000) where as the big freeze would happen in approximately 10100 (100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) years, and the entire history of the human race is a mere 200,000 years.

If you meant 'Where does outer space end?' then the answer is that the universe is infinite, and that there is no attainable 'edge of the universe'. If you meant 'when will outer space end', that's a completely different question.
As soon as it began its existence (13.7 billion years ago).
The universe began approximately 13.7 billion years ago. The big bang theory describes how the universe was created, and began to expand rather rapidly.
To eat at the "restaurant at the end of the universe".
In some cultures, the days begin/end at sunset. In some cultures, days begin/end at sunrise. A day of the Gregorian calendar begins/ends at 00:00 (12 "midnight").
Yes universe is endless and it is expanding but every thing that expands has its end once it reaches that end it explodes this might be the cause of the end of universe so there might be a end of universe
No. McDonalds could very well be the end of the universe, but it is definitely not AT the end of the universe.
The end of the universe means nothing will survive even the universe itself.
The universe will end in 5 billion years time.
There is no known end to the Universe. It is always expanding, too.

A closed Universe.
If there is not sufficient matter in the Universe, eventually, entropy will take over and the Universe will continually expand and cool until there is no possibility of life. If there is enough mass, the Universe will eventually begin to contract on itself, leading to a Big Crunch, from which the cycle my begin again.
