Edge of the universe
.jpg)
The edge of the universe, edge of reality, end of the world, edge of the world or edge of creation, which Astrolabus equated with "the ends of the Earth", was was the location where space actually ended. The Sixth Doctor claimed that "the world [had] no end", but was told by Astrolabus that this statement was a product of logic and that "logic [was] a new toy". Beyond the edge of the universe was the Void. According to the Fourteenth Doctor, the edge was roughly 100 trillion years away from Earth.

The Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble were stranded on a spaceship that had traveled, via a wormhole, to the edge of creation. The Doctor said that he had never travelled so far, nor had anyone else. The ship was invaded by two creatures dubbed "Not-things" from beyond the universe. While there, the Doctor invoked a superstition about a line of salt holding back vampires, demons and ghosts in a game against the Not-Things, who had to deduce if he was telling the truth or lying. However, the Not-things discerned the Doctor's act was just a ploy and crossed the line. Despite later defeating the Not-things, the Doctor lamented that playing the game at the edge of the universe was a foolish thing to do.
