hmm...
edge of the dish?
that sounds too old school.
I know, there are at least 3 leading theories about the size of the universe and all of them think there is an edge in it.
just like the smart ones thought previously that earth was flat.

Whatever alien life looks like, the US Government already has forms ready: G-731, Inquiry About Status of I-551, Alien Registration Card at http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/g-731.htm

Oh, and see the Alien Registration Act at http://uscis.gov/graphics/aboutus/history/attachd.htm

Alien Registration: Specimen Form
Sample forms distributed to aliens to gather the information required and fill out in draft. When they appeared in person at a post office for registration, the information on the specimen form was transferred to the official registration form





And, yes, I'm a registered alien according to the US Government, even got my very own number

If you want old school, think back to the defination of time-Space

Time is what happens when things in space change, Space exists where things change (paraphrase)

So assuming a leading edge from the big bang exists, at the outermost boundary would be the 'skin' of the universe. Nothing exists beyond it, no time/space. wee it possible to 'penetrate' that boundary, by defination you are bringing space/time with you and you would become the leading edge.

There is probably some supergravitational forces at work there. I wonder what the escape velocity for the universe is...

-----

There is another concept of the rippling universe, where the universe/big bang occurs from an infinately expanding universe, when the 'hollow' center or center point comes under enough 'vacuum' pressure energy from another/other dimensions leak into this universe causing another "Big Bang"... Therefore our universe is an infinate number of eternally expanding rings, like ripples in a pool when a water drop hits, which slowly burn out into nothing. Depressing isn't it. No grand collapse and pheonix like rebirth... just old crap fading away to make room for a new one.

...and to go another step, the net E is zero.
