      I think that we really don’t know the answer to this question. The universe is massive and if you think about it, we don’t even know a lot about our own solar system, let alone our own galaxy! We rely on light reaching our planet to observe things, so far away within the universe, light from galaxies probably hasn’t even got here yet! We are small!
