> My understanding is that the definition of a "universe" is that it has no physical, spatial boundaries or ends. This has been called into question recently but I think it was a very accepted fact back in the 70's and early 80's.  Thus, for me, the end of a universe in this story must be temporal.

Since he sees a Big Bang or Gib Gnab, I think it is likely to be the 
temporal end of the universe.
