I have a basic theory about all this stuff 
... but it usually takes 3 cold cans to understand it myself ..
So I will just say ..
Space cant actually ever actually end ..
Space is just space ..if it ended (like a wall for example) that fact that a wall was in front of you would mean that something must be or was on the other dam side , even if it was just more nothing or bloody space, a buncha black holes , a huge gooey mess , plasma storms , weird unknown ugly scary things , what ever ....
And ok ..as for the collapse back on it self thing .... if it does collapse what would be left ..??
Their really can be no such thing as actual nothing
What ****s me is that all of us will be long gone before we ever get to know fully the real facts about all this stuff ....space, time, parallel universes , why we are here or why anything exists for that matter ..
think I just gave myself a headache..

Ok, so with the theory that the universe IS still expanding ( theoridically (sp) still in the midst of the big bang), There is one of three predictors as to whether the universe is flat, round (as Jfunk said), and closed.
If it's open, it will go on forever.... If it's flat, then it will expand for an infinite time but slow after a while. Obviously, if it's closed... Then eventually it will run out of "space" and collapse on itself.
Parallel Universes, Ah, into Quantum Physics.. Cool stuff.

Evidently, the universe is flat, like a very thick sheet of paper, yet is continually expanding and will do so forever.
And since it keeps growing at the speed of light, no one could ever reach the "edge".

space is supposed to just go on forever...

I used to think the same thing.
What if space is part of something even bigger. Maybe space is part of something else?
What is "space" exactly?

Classic, if the universe collapses, we'll another big bang.

I don't recon anything this big could collapse silently..
One way or another the fact that empty space is actually something means that what is here has always been here in one form or another ...
It is all a head breaker Pam, that I know and has been, or has tried to be explained with quantum maths, but even quantum maths still has its doubters to this day ..

There you see, it even happened to Classic.

Translated ....no one actually knows for sure why space is here or when it started..
( before the so called big bang)
It is as I mentioned , one of the bitches about only being alive for a blink in time ....we know so much , yet we know so little ...
