Reply to comment by Slackimus in If the Big Bang was the end of a previous universe, then could a strong enough telescope see into the previous universe? by [deleted]

That's very interesting. I never really thought about it, but it makes perfect sense. But now I have a question. And I apologize if it doesn't make sense.

Eventually, would this fact lead to us only seeing our Own light? Like from however old it is, it's the light we can see because we're Travelling with it. Like, ripples on the water.

Yes, eventually the Milky way will be the only observable galaxy. If life still exists, those beings will never be able to discover what we know now, unless our knowledge is somehow preserved. Pretty trippy

You think that's a trip(and it is. A sad lonely one.) just imagine one far, far off day it's suddenly reported that other galaxies have just been spotted.
