Default Journey to the end of the universe

Just saw this on the history channel, it was mind boggling to say the
least. If you have a chance to track it down,it is well worth it.

And what is at the end of the universe?

The Big Bang.

That is 13 Billion light years away.

Try 78+ billion light years away, and apparently growing.

The Big Bang.

That is 13 Billion light years away.


And then what? Empty space?

And maybe another question would be what is at the center of the universe,
away from which all that galaxies have been heading for the last several
billions of years.

Is the universe a big hollow ball shape?

Try providing one shred of evidence for the above assertion.

But only in a way.

That's easy, because you can't objectively prove otherwise.

btw, we're certainly not at the center of our known universe, much
less of the all-inclusive universe that's supposedly expanding (except
for the nearby Great Attractor that we're trekking towards at 6,000+
km/s).

Fortunately our sun will have died on us long before the GA gets us,
so there's really nothing to worry about except surviving our
encounter with Andromeda.
