Edge of the universe

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 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. (TV: )

A spaceship became stranded at the edge of the universe after leaving a wormhole, and the captain killed themselves to stop the two creatures from beyond the edge dubbed "Not-things" from using their ship to escape into the known universe. Three years afterwards, the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble arrived on the spaceship due to the Doctor's TARDIS malfunctioning, with the Doctor claiming he had "never travelled [so] far", and they were confronted by the Not-things. In order to drive them back, the Doctor invoked a superstition about a line of salt holding back vampires, demons and ghosts in a game against the not-things, but they discerned his act was just a ploy and blew away the line. After the not-things were destroyed in the spaceship's self-destruction, the Doctor wondered if there would be consequences for invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe, "where the walls [were] thin and all things [were] possible", (TV: ) later learning that "play[ing the] game" with the salt had allowed myths and legends to "cross the line" and enter the universe, starting with the Toymaker.
