Assuming the universe looks the same in every direction it would support uniformity throughout the shape.

If explosions are never uniformed and the big bang was an explosion, Why would the universe look uniformed?

Should it not end sooner in some parts than others?

The Big Bang was not an explosion throwing matter outward to fill an empty void.

Imagine a set of equally spaced points throughout a volume, then imagine the distance between all those points increasing simultaneously at the same rate...that's the big bang. All areas of the universe expanded equally.
