The concept of the universe's edge remains one of science's most captivating mysteries. Despite advances in astronomy, we remain uncertain about whether the universe is finite or infinite.

The observable universe is defined by the extent that light has traveled, with estimates suggesting its size is at least 96 billion light years across.

Theories abound, with some suggesting an infinite continuation, while others propose possible alternate universes beyond any edge. Such questions continue to drive scientific inquiry and discovery.
