What if science one day discovers that we had some mysterious light in our Universe that existed at one time but doesn't exist now ? It could happen.

I'm afraid it couldn't, because the entire history of the universe is laid before our eyes, all the way back to the time that atoms first formed. If it were there, we'd see it.

[Geek alert: There is a light predating the sun, to be sure, called the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, but by the time flowering plants evolved, it was far too feeble to support life, and in any case its ubiquity and smoothness renders it thermodynamically unsuitable for any such purpose.]

That's a bold statement. With that, your telling me that in 10 thousand years from now, humans will have discovered nothing new out there, or even changed previous theories from new evidence.

That's ok. I'm sure many scientists in the middle ages thought the same thing.

Beware the thread that would not die!

Don't be ridiculous. We cannot even tell where the center of the Universe is, let alone 'see' when the first atoms were formed.
