Which would seem to have some impact on future ‘dark matter’ theories in that, maybe they’re not necessary to invoke. If these galaxies were ‘hidden’ than so were their gravitational effects.

Newspaper headline -— Universe to Collapse in 4 Billion Years

“Oh, my god, oh my god.”
“What are you doing? Four billion years is a very long time.”
“Oh, whew. I thought it was four MILLION!”

We aren’t so intelligent if we elect Hillary. The search for the first intelligence life should go on.

Nope. Dark matter is manifest in and around individual galaxies. It has no intergalactic effect.

In 20 years, they will find 20 trillion other universes. Then all scientists realize that this is all useless... and commit suicide.

Isn’t that how specialization works? The specialist
knows more and more about less and less until
he knows nothing about anything.

"But we’re the only intelligent life."

Arguably debatable.

In addition to pinning down a total number, the study analyzed the number of galaxies that were present in the distant past compared to the number of galaxies that exist now. By peering 13 billion light-years into the past, shortly after the Big Bang, the researchers found that there were 10 times more galaxies in the ancient universe than there are now (most of which were small, about the size of the satellite galaxies that orbit the Milky Way).

...

So the number of galaxies estimated in the current Universe hasn’t changed.

To further make your case, I present the 2008 USA election, the 2012 USA election, the Kardashians, the TV series “Supertrain” and Global Warming.

There’s a good chance we are given the available evidence and in spite of your sarcasm.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
What is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
(Psalm 8:3-5 ESV)
