Does the universe have an end and a beginning and has the James Webb telescope finally discovered the edge of the observable universe? Since time immemorial, we have wanted to know how big the world we live in is. We meticulously search for boundaries and truths and in doing so our knowledge has continued to expand. In the past, the edge of the world was somewhere beyond the horizon; today we use telescopes to search the universe for clues that show us whether our universe is a finite space. We may now have achieved a decisive breakthrough in this elementary question with the James Webb Space Telescope.
