Why do scientists want to find the end of universe ?

I have no idea what you mean by this question.Is God sitting there at the end ?
or, there's some reason else which force them to do so ?
The aim of science is to account for what we observe in nature, by modelling how it seems to behave.

Scientists go, or look into the sky, search galaxies over galaxies, black matter etc. and try to find the end. why so ?

Yes, scientists do astronomy.
What "end" are you taking about? What makes you think astronomers are trying to find some kind of "end"?

Okay.
NO scientist can ever find the end of universe. they can never.
Do agree with the above statement ?

No. You need to explain what you mean by the "end" of the universe before I can agree or disagree. So far as I am aware, astronomers are not looking for any sort of "end" of the universe when they look through their telescopes. They are looking at distant objects in space.

Why they are looking at distant objects in space ?
Loll.. early scientists were finding the end of earth. Later discovered earth is round.

No early scientists looked for the end of the Earth. Eratosthenes measured the circumference of the Earth in about 300BC. He and his fellow Greeks realised perfectly well the Earth was not flat. Any sailor would know this, from the Bronze Age onward.
Astronomers look at distant objects in space to learn more about heavenly bodies such as the various kinds of stars, galaxies etc., and to formulate theories to account for how they seem to behave.

Yes 100% agree with you.

Yes, they are. But they are not looking for the "end" of anything. So far as I know, according to our current models, the universe does not have any "end".Smart people
So, to say they "cannot find" the end, is false, as they are not even looking for such a thing.
It is a "Have you stopped beating your wife?" question.

Observation, of stars, galaxies etc. - the sort of things astronomers do.

Just science.Okay, once again I have say.. smart people
In science what we do is make models of aspects of nature, in order to account for what we observe and to enable us to predict what further observations we should expect to see.
All theories of science are models like this, from evolution to chemistry, geophysics, astronomy and cosmology, or whatever you like.
Models (theories) in science are ALWAYS based on observation of nature. In science you can't just make stuff up: it has to fit with observation and it has to be testable by means of more observation.

Yeah, they may find that the Universe is endless and can be of many forms, some presently seem quite bizarre to us. Perhaps in time we will come to accept it.
astronomy sees things as they were, the earlier universe, not the end.
