[ WP ] A physical `` end '' of the universe is detected , and its composition resembles the wall of a blood vessel

Everyone at the lab was excited. The most powerful telescope was a success, and we were opening the champagne before we even knew what the end of the universe looked like. there were brief arguments, and even a couple of fights, but in the end, the person who had made the blueprints got the first look. 
 I was up close, right next to him, and he was grinning eagerly through the eyepiece. He looked like a kid looking through a candy-store window... 
 And then confusion. 
 `` What happened? ``, I said. He looked directly at me... 
 And said, `` I think we're inside an organism of the greatest possible magnitude.'' 
 He always likes to speak like that, so it took a couple of seconds to realize what he was saying. Of course, everyone else heard him, so imagine the panic, the excitement, testosterone, anger, and all other feelings bunched up inside observatory. 
 I just stood there, stunned, as I contemplated what this means, when someone shouted, `` Let's see that for a fact!'' 
 She was right, of course. I got the next look, and guess what I saw? 
 I saw the most grotesque thing in my life. 
 The end of the universe was an abomination. It was a pale, writhing mass of muscle. I could not look at it for more than a few seconds before I felt the bile rise. I rushed to the bathroom, praying this was a nightmare.
