In my next life I'd like to be right all the time...like my wife in this life!

There may in fact be a 'lack of galaxies' out, say 100 times or 1,000 or 10,000 times further than we can observe today. Nobody can prove that one way or another. But then you should have some reason for such a hypothesis.
Mordred said:Trying to describe outside the universe is like trying to describe non existence. As many are pointing out.
It is generally accepted that the universe probably extends far beyond the 46 bly observable portion. I do not imagine being able to “look beyond” it, as you suggested, because that is impossible by definition.
please explain how “Einstein imagined catching up to light”.
