Okay, the concept of infinity is obviously confusing to me. If you reach the edge of the known universe, isn’t what is beyond it just empty space? If it isn’t just empty space, what the heck is it? I figure that once you would happen to get past all the particles in the universe, you could still continue to go, it would just be a vacuum? Am I just being obtuse? Help!
