The idea of exploring the universe is appealing but thinking about it makes one realise just how small we are and just how little time we are here for.
So assuming something that is probably impossible and that is traveling at light speed it would take approximately 45 billion years to get to the edge of the Universe from here ( the observable universe which almost certainly is no where near the limit) if we could stop the universe expanding so the current "edge" is prevented from moving further away which presumably it will but even if the " edge" did not move once we get there how much more universe would we "see" and although no one knows I expect we would find another 45billion light years lay ahead of us and when we reach that new destination almost certainly we find yet another 45 billion years of traveling at light speed ahead.. say we could travel a million times the speed of light we still face an extrodinary very long trip relative to a human life span...and the hypothetical "worm hole" will not work...being able to move co ordinates around on a 2d plan does not translate well to 3d but such manipulation will never become more than a speculation...the only way space (and time presumably) can be manipulated is by huge mass ..so huge it would make the largest black holes look like paper weights.
We are very lucky to be able to imagine what the universe may be and look like but we should be conservative with speculation based on imagination.
