We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

I'm going out on a limb to see if I understand this.
(earth)<-(Arb. +*portal collapse*+ Mas. Chief.)--<------ (The Ark)
Mc didn't make it through fast enough, so it tore his half from the original hull. I picture it as mc's half running out of speed and slowing down, while the arbiter keeps flying through space getting back while Mc gets dropped off halfway there.
Your kinda on the right track; except in space there is no friction, so MC and his half of "Forward Unto Dawn" will continue in the same direction at a constant speed until either they crash into a large spacial body, or are saved by UNSC marines.... there is the chance that reminants of the Covenant Factions could still be quite angry about the outcome of the war, and find MC.
MC went missing around 2553, as per the "Believe" ads he is still not found in the very late 2500's. So Cheif definetly spends atleast 30 yrs in space, if he hasnt died yet.
Hopefully we will get to see MC again in a couple years to see what happens, but till all we can do is inquire and make amazing theories, good job everyone.
ps- If i were to go with one of the other theories though it would definetly be the Onyx one. It ties in much more smoothly and will make more sense to newcomers to the Halo series.
Since he is near the planet, the planet's gravity would keep him in orbit around the planet. If he was going really fast then maybe he had enough speed to escape the gravitational pull of the planet, and in that case he would be drifting in space forever. If not he would just keep going around the planet.
Onyx = BOOM,
In 2552, Onyx's Sentinels were roused to action by the standby signal from Installation 05, instigating the Battle of Onyx and revealing Onyx's true nature. The AI Endless Summer took command of all military personnel on Onyx to immediately defend Zone 67 per General Order 98.93.120, after Onyx's Sentinels first started to attack the SPARTAN-III's. Endless Summer sent Kurt a flash transmission sending attached files directly into Kurt's retina. An explosion stopped Endless Summer's transmission before Kurt could finish scanning the new threat.
At the conclusion of the battle, Onyx was effectively destroyed, although not before Bloody Arrow was declared and Blue Team, Team Saber, Team Katana, Dr. Halsey, and SCPO Mendez escaped to the safety of the Shield World.
