Instead of viewing the universe as a finite shape try imagining it as an “instance” in eli5 terms basically what your thinking is a never ending “concept” but the universe has things that “end” in it as far as dissipation of energy. Theres no other side to black holes it’s better name for them would be a singularity. These singularitys can bend space time, so a good way to look at it is a “non-finite entropical shape.” lot’s of scientistst believe this universe exists inside of a black hole. While the idea of wormholes would give credence to the theory of a never-ending universe, their only theoretically possible. The confines of the universe IMO is time and not orientation. So while the bending of space time allows for more rooms it doesnt necessarily mean that theres infinite amounts of it.It’ss just eating itself over and over. IMO This loss of energy isnt possible so from my inferrence the “big bang” is a star super-nova that turned into a black hole and that’s why we see that from the beginning of time every direction we look because that’s very possibly what creates our universes. and all the pressure kept matter that was sucked through to initially be hot and under pressure. Over time, that pressure leveled off as what we consider to be gravity and the heat dissipated to allow nuclear bonding. Space is big so even if this theoretical black hole we’re in dissipates/gets gobbled by another black hole, we wouldnt notice anything because of the extreme time-dialtion that occured in my theory of how the universe started. We exist in the concept of that star exploding, and physics breaks down the closer you are to the singularity. Have you ever seen the ditto poke-mon? That’s probably the shape of our universe and that our universe is made up of light and the transfer of energy but not energy itself.
