The Edge Of The Universe And What They Found There

“Is that actually …. it?”
“I thought the universe never ended?”
“It doesn’t…. does it?”
“I’ve been wandering the universe for years and could almost guarentte that the universe never ended.”
“Well look at that.”
“Somebody get control on the Telecom.”
The awe of the moment overwhelmed the ship, they were seeing the end of the universe, or were they? For what is the end of the universe? Does it actually end? Does it truely define “Nothing”?
“Full speed ahead.”
“Oh my god…”
“Amazing, isn’t it?”
“Wait, I don’t know?”
“I have a headache.”
“I… I can’t think.”
“It’s right ther…. ahhh.”
“Oh my god… make it stop.”
They fall to the floor, their heads in extreme pain. For our minds can’t comprehend an end to the universe. Think about it, what really lies beyond the boundries of our universe. The spacecraft would eventually drift over the boundries? Can it drift over the boundry? Where does it go? Beyond it, there is no life, no light, no darkness. There is simply…. Nothing.
