There seems little point in trying to answer the question " what will happen if we do this ?" unless we first ask "could we do this ?" and get a positive answer. It is fairly obvious that trying to put the universe in a tube would pose some major engineering difficulties, but the real problem is philosophical. The universe is everything. The whole of space, and the whole of the matter and energy that is in that space. If we try to put the universe in a tube, where would we get the material to make the tube, and where can we find the space to put it in ? The old, old problem of how you lift yourself by your own bootstraps pales by comparison.
