      No one really knows, but some theories suggest that it might be shaped a bit like a bagel or a trumpet!

      Not a clue. But then I don’t know anyone who could give you an answer as we don’t truly know.

      As I did before, I’ve asked a physicist friend for help here:

      “Yes, we think so. The universe is getting bigger all the time at the speed of light; the edge is where the the light from the big bang has travelled to, so you can never catch up to the edge anyway.”

      I hope that’s what you’re looking for 🙂
