If you divid the whole space of universe into big chunks the size of our solar system and imagine you are at one of those chunks looking up at the sky—the sky will appear pitch black.
The nearest star at that point would be so far away that if it would explode as a supernova (the brightness of a billion suns) and you were starting right at the point where it supposedly would be, and when its light would reach you, you would not see even a glimmer.
That’s what a typical place looks like in universe. Big cold with nothing happening.
If that’s some design then the designer flunked big time. We are more likely to be living in a discarded dustbin than anything well planned.
