Actually, In Stephen Hawking's book (I can't remember the exact
title), he explained the theory that the universe doesn't end, but it
also isn't infinite;  rather, it's a sphere.  It's like, if you could
fit all of our 3 dimensional space onto the 2d surface of a sphere,
that would be the universe.  So basically, if you travel far enough in
one direction, you'll end up where you started.

I think that's kinda neat :)

Ah, the fractal theory again.  The simple mirrors the complex.
Fascinating, isn't it?

I believe I already answered #1, but I don't think anyone could answer
your second question. :)
