Now there are people attempting to see if there is some patterns, see if you can model how the universe would change and if you see patterns and maybe the actual universe is a sub-set of the observable we just haven't seen it yet, but it's completely a possibility hopefully I didn't confuse you, I actually find this kind-of an interesting idea that these things that we think are, let's say the light that has taken 8 billion years to reach us we think it's from something, based on this scale, 8 billion light years out, it's actually further because the universe is expanding so it will have actually traversed more space than that but we think it's from something like that but it could have been something further in if the actual universe is smaller and it's just on it's second pass it's actually coming back again and that's why it took 8 billion years to reach us we don't even recognize it because it looks very different than that region of space right now or that region of space after 4 billion years looks completely different than when it first released anyway, hopefully I didn't confuse you too much, I think this is a fascinating, fascinating topic
