The problem is that we cannot see what amounts to the entire universe. The small piece, infinitesimally small, that we can see should not be all that we can ever see. It is as if we lived in a small village in the woods in Borneo and never knew of Jakarta, Singapore, Bombey, Baghdad, Paris, New York, and never had a clue that anybody such as Copernicus could exist. The properties of light evidently limit our perceptions. This is unacceptable!

For now – just wait a century or so.
