The universe will never have an end point. What the universe is doing is it stretching itself at an infinite rate. This is the reason solar systems and galaxies are so far away from each other. Since it is expanding at the speed of light and it has been since the Big Bang 14 billion years ago the universe has grown into an enormous. String theory is a theory that would confirm the existence of alternate universes. According to “What is the future of cosmology?” by Lee Smolin, “S tring theory, comes in a great many versions, which each describe different possible universes with different elementary particles governed by different laws”. If string theory is confirmed then other universes might have different laws that ours. Because different laws will govern these other universes, maybe it will not stretch like our universe and therefore make it easier to find the end of a universe. If there is an end point it might be blank space with no matter and completely empty. According to the National Geographic article “Every Black Hole Contains Another Universe”," a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole". Since the gravity of a black hole is so strong it could be a potential teleporting machine to an alternate universe. The world of astronomy is huge and there are many different theories for different universes and laws but scientists have to figure out ways to prove them.
