There is a cosmological answer to that question. You’ve seen the model of space as a grid in which physical objects make indentations?

The gravity of those objects actually bends space. More properly it could be called space-time, because space and time are essentially two facets of the same thing.

The universe does this as well. So if you made a perfectly straight line heading to the “side” of the universe, after a very, very long trip, you would end up at the same point you started from, offset by other internal movement within the universe.
