I don't know if I saw a question mark in your whole post. LOL.

Before I write this, understand, I am thinking about where we are in the perspective of everything, outside our universe. If I were to be able to travel to the edge of the most distant star, what is out there...The pastor discussed time and mentioned that god created time and knows (and created) all. If you apply that to outside our universe, and the physics of time, this makes sense to me based on the BASIC understanding I know. It seems there could be a man behind the curtain sort of thing.

IMO, the "edge of the universe" like the "entity behind the curtain" need not be thought of as way over there, beyond 'me.' I believe you can find both going within. Deep within perhaps. As if universe is (forever) expanding inwards as well as outwards. Depends on how you choose to look at 'things.'
It has never really ever made sense to me that Creator would be inherently outside of Creation, and does make sense that Creator is a) still Creating, b) is within you / within all and c) is not beyond evolving. Though I would add on that Creator is not subject to physical evolution. That is arguable, but for me, jury is still out on whether physical actually exists.
Anyway, I realize I'm perhaps on different tangent than your question, what physics studies and what even your pastor was implying. I'm offering perspective and another way to look at virtually the same thing(s).

Sorry for the long question. Basically, I am searching for meaning to my life. I am looking for proof that I am a mass of material that occurred by randomness.

In my worldview, you are the "man behind the curtain" when it comes to vast majority of what you experience. And for that which you are not the "one and only" you are (well) connected to that which is at One with known Universe. Go within if proof is what you seek. Knock and the door will be opened.
Keep on keeping on,
