Furthermore, a universe isn't the biggest thing ever, either. Even if you have a universe, there has to be something beyond the universe, right? Or would it be that reality stops where the universe stops? Could the universe have an end? We don't know. Once again, we currently don't have instruments that can squint that far yet.

It's a fun thing to think about.
That is what I am saying. We can't grasp the concept. Even when we do make instruments that can detect smaller pieces of matter and energy, there will be even smaller ones and smaller ones to find infinately.

LOL I liked the concept of reality stopping at the end of the universe.

It's such a mindfuck. I have a feeling that when you die you learn it all. Don't ask me why. I think when you die you are in your natural "real" state. Again, don't ask why.
