Conclusion
So my conclusion is that the universe is finite, but it is constantly expanding. It has an end but nothing comes after the end. No one knows what nothing looks like and we probably never will because somewhere I read that to go from one end of the universe to the other end takes 500 billion lightyears! And one lightyear is like 308 million and a ton of other numbers after that, miles! And thats only ONE lightyear! People haven't even to Mars yet! Thats how impossible going to the end of the universe is!
Third Result
So I found my third result on wikianswers.com and the question was:
If the universe is expanding, what comes after the outermost edge?
And the answer was that if the universe were to be expanding, we could not know what might be beyond it's outermost edge. That is why whatever it might be cannot be any part of the universe. The universe is defined as "all existing matter and space." So for example, if "x" exists, it is part of the universe, it cannot be outside it. It is like trying to find a number greater than infinity, for it is defined as "a number greater than any assignable quantity, or countable number." So a statement such as a number greater than infinity is infinity+1, it shows how there can be no 'edge' to infinity. Which proves my hypothesis about nothing being after the universe.

Second Result
Another question and answer I found on yahoo answers was:
Is the universe really endless and if not, what comes after it?
The best answer was that the universe is not endless, it is finite, but it is constantly expanding. Edwin Hubble was the first to make this hypothesis. He noted that galaxies were flying away from each other deeper into space. Here is the best way to visualize this. Imagine that there is a balloon filled with water and it is tied up. There is a person by a ledge, holding the balloon, and then drops it to the ground. What happens? It pops. What happens to the water? It spreads in all directions away from the balloon. Now imagine it from the point in which the balloon first makes contact with the ground to the point where all the water is out of it, except in reverse. The water appears to be going back inside the balloon, and is being condensed to a bunch of collected water. Now visualize the universe right after the big bang. All the matter is packed up in a ball and then... BAM! Everything spreads outwards, but in order for it to move, the universe must get larger, or expand. So while the universe expands, galaxies are getting farther and farther away from the center. As for the universe's end, well thats a hard subject to answer but there are many theories to it. Some people think that all matter will be sucked in by a massive black hole, but the universe will continue to expand forever. Some say that the black hole will consume the universe, taking everthing back to the singularity, and then it starts again. Others think that gravity will overcome all other forces, and pull the universe, and everything in it, back into a singularity again. This particular scenario is known as the "Big Crunch."

First Result
Since this question is impossible to do in an experiment, I did some research. I found a lot of results that were similar to each other. Here are some of my results:
This result was from yahoo answers. Here is what one person asked:
This result was from yahoo answers. Here is what one person asked:
What comes after the universe and what keeps it together and then what comes after that and so on? The best answer was that the universe is made up of dark matter that is literally invisible. It keeps on expanding to distances beyond our imagination. Everything in the universe is being carried with it as it expands. Think of it as a balloon when you draw on it and then blow air into it. The drawing on the balloon expands as the balloon expands.

What Comes After Space?
Is this the most impossible question or what? What comes after space? Not many people know the answer to this question, if any. My hypothesis is that there is nothing after space. No one knows what nothing looks like but I imagine it to look like a blank piece of paper that goes on forever.
