If the Universe goes on forever, then the Universe must be everlasting. This would mean our night sky would be full of light from the stars and galaxies etc. There would be no darkness between the stars and galaxies from our vantage point.

I'm pretty sure that according to astrophysics that if someone was to travel into space towards the edge of the Universe, they would end up back where they started from, because of the curvature of space-time.
So what of the theory that there is actually more than one universe?
