One day when it's just the local group, people may say the universe is tiny, made up of nothing more than a few galaxies. We'll conclude its getting smaller because mass attracts mass and we will no longer see obvious background radiation, or we will but it will provide any number of possible reasons for it. And that will be true for a while.
Don't worry, I agree with you, be a skeptic, but also don't be. Be accep5ing, but also don't be. Shits complicated. And it's all guess work, informed guess work, and a best guess even. Suits simple.
