Well, I heard the edge of the universe is an enveloping wormhole that funnels the universe back into the center of itself. That's why the universe is perpetually expanding and accelerating and will never retract. When all of the universe has been funneled back to its center, the wormhole will release it and there'll be another big bang.

Where do you people get those fairy tales about there being space outside the universe and the universe retracting?

I just thought of this when I read this post. Similar but different.

I recently read that the space is curved, e.g. parallel lines will eventually meet. And that e v e n t u a l l y if you followed the curve it would wrap back around. It turns out that we might not have to define an outer limit of space, it may be entirely self-contained and infinitely circular.
