End that is."<br /><br />If it's open or flat it doesn't end, or really it does but expands for ever. If it's closed it is finite.It can be finite and bounded which is probably what you're referring to. That 'could' be a doughnut or sphere or some others.<br />If so it 'probably' doesn't end in the conventional sense. If you set a straight course you simply get back to where you started from, as on a two dimensional surface of a sphere. As to what's outside such a space. Outside of space itself means outside of time as well.<br />Spatial dimensions don’t exist, and time doesn’t exist. It's not even something.
