Well according to most accepted theories if you look far enough back you will eventually see nothing because you will be seeing the universe before the big bang in which time at matter didn't exist. As for the end it depends on what theory you subscribe to, but most either way end with all matter in the universe coming to and end, with out any matter measurement of time becomes nearly impossible.

We don't have the technology or sources to travel space to use any planets. Unless life comes from another planet, we'll be here using earth up.

Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to my self. Everyone seems to underestimate humans, and what they are capable of. When I build my Orion for my Rigel Kent flight none of you can come along...

...except maybe Oberon, ML, Luftwolf and Vendor.

Nothing...is still something, emptiness is still space. The big bang may have happened out of thin air....but thin air is something. Time and space is non-ending.

I don't underestimate humans, I expect them to do what they've always done, take over and destroy civilizations and then rebuild again, it's just now the damage we can do can set us back to the dark ages.

Humans...humbug..

It is kinda sad that there will be places in the Universe that humans can never explore.... or it may be a good thing, depending on your perspective.

That's a dichotomy that I always have trouble with. On one hand I want to believe that we will evolve and become better caretakers of the domain we live in. On the other... well... we know the vagaries of our current evolutionary form all too well.

As long as we don't go extinct we still have a fighting chance.
