No, not the end of a world or universe, the end of the vastness of space.
I edited my post, as I made an error in my terms. In my understanding, Hinduism posits that the life of the universe and the space in which it exists is equal to one hundred years of Brahma, which is 36,000 kalpa, or 311.04 trillion earth years.

Why so much love for space?
The composite question is incoherent: talk of a time limit on the vastness of space makes zero sense.
There is no end (i.e. edge) of the universe by definition.
Whether or not there is an end (i.e., death) is unknown.

Do you mean the vastness expires or the whole universe expires?
It could be that it squishes back down in a big crunch, cyclic model type scenario. It could also be that it grows eternally.
Space and time have been shown to be inexorably linked as a single entity, the 'ground' as it were on which the various fields (gravity, electromagnetic, Higgs) operate. At least that's how I understand it. Asking if space has a limit is the same as asking if time has a limit.
I don't think humans can have anything other than a guess--maybe supported by some observation or other--as to whether or not there is a limit expressed in time, space, or both...and indeed, what that even means...

i think space is space and time is a measure by man
isn't space measured by people, too?

you cant measure something thats infinite. Space is infinite in my world.isn't space measured by people, too?
Hmmm. But you can measure smaller parts of that space, can't you? Just as you can measure smaller parts of that time, and relatively, before and after?
To me, if space and time are aspects of the same thing, if one posits that either space or time is infinite, then the other must be infinite as well...
Does your view have any practical implications for you?

Our observations are very limited.
This is like using a few days in fall to try to predict a thousand years of weather.
