DoesntMatter 05/05/24 9:22:50 PM #5:	yeah it's pretty depressing tbh. especially when you consider that we are probably in a similar situation. we have no way of knowing what's beyond the cosmic horizon as we currently can perceive it. maybe whole entire other universes or something used to be detectable earlier in our universe's existence, but they've since moved too far away and now we have no way of seeing them or even knowing they exist. --- It don't matter.

DoesntMatter 05/05/24 9:36:17 PM #18:	Waxitron_Gazer posted... it absolutely is there literally is no way for us to know even know what lies beyond the cosmic horizon. due to the expansion of the universe, light from past a certain point at the edge of the visible universe will literally never reach us. and everything in the universe is moving away from everything else as the universe expands. so, sometime in the far future, all the other galaxies we see now are going to be past that cosmic horizon and there light will never ever reach the life that would exist here at that point in time. comparing it to discovering dinosaur fossils would only make sense if there was a theoretical part of the earth's interior that we have never detected and will never be able to detect and will never ever even know that it's there, and there are dinosaur fossils in that. --- It don't matter.
