With an infinite universe though I highly doubt it, there wouldn't be an ''other side''. With a finite universe which would be where it wraps in on itself making a shape with no start or finish but has a certain amount of space, we could see another side. Maybe the universe we dwell in is orbiting a mother universe. Maybe our universe isn't the only universe? Who knows? Hopefully we will some day.edit on 26-12-2011 by curiousrb because: (no reason given)

Our universe is around 13.75 billion years old,yet its diameter is around 93 million light years across,... Whats up with that?!?! > en.wikipedia.org...
The universe is known to be expanding with exponential acceleration,but the recession speed of the distant galaxies is determined based on the light which has reached the earth after many billions of years of propagation...
So the universe's periphery recession speed we observe is only apparent,not actual.It is the recession speed which existed billions of years ago.The actual current speed of the universe's expansion must be unbelievably higher and almost incomprehensible to imagine...edit on 27-12-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)

We still have an observable universe,but most of its light has'nt reached us yet and because its expanding away from us in all directions faster and faster,more and more of its light never will reach us...
Like a car going faster and faster and never running out of gas,at this point in time our universe must be doubling its size again and again,faster and faster...

Infinite,eternal and forever are words that have no real meaning,nothing lasts forever,all things must pass and just like the word god,we created and use those words to help us explain the unexplainable,enigmas and paradoxes that are probably beyond our human ability to fully understand,beyond our comprehension...
