That's a good question, but not one that necessarily has a satisfactory answer.
Basically, What I have learned is that the universe from the time of the Big Bang is 'creating' space-time. It still boils down to the universe is either infinite or bounded. If it is bounded, we still have the question of what is beyond that boundary. If it is infinite then we have the problem of description. In my learning, the boundary of the universe is where light and gravity have not yet traversed. If, in a curved universe, one were to try and travel outside, any path taken would still be within our universe, though finite, it would appear infinite.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
