What really gets me is how much of that virtual infinity is completely, utterly off-limits to us for all eternity. Trillions upon trillions of planets and stars that will just wink out one day, never to be seen again.
Short of some extremely radical new physics, humans will never, ever reach these other galaxies. Maybe the Magellanic Clouds, and Andromeda (which is coming to us).
Even the most optimistic sci-fi like Star Trek balks at traversing intergalactic space and they have warp drive, wormholes and sometimes go to other dimensions!
