Been awhile since I did deep dive on astrophysics.
My recollection is that they last estimated the age of the universe - from the ‘big bang’ - at just under 14 billion years, give or take.
So, this area of space should be devoid of any galaxies.
Something’s amiss. Or is the ‘science settled’ on astrophysics, too?

Gives a whole new perspective on “To infinity and beyond!”. Try to imagine what would be seen if you stood on a planet around that “star” and looked in the direction away from earth. Also you really have to wonder just who and what methods are used to make these calculations of distance and age of the universe. Also confirmatory experimental evidence that “black holes” really exist has simply never happened. The point is much of experimental physics are just logical speculation and assumptions.
