If they look far enough and deep enough, there has got to be some ylem out there.

Hubble (the astronomer, not the telescope) worked out the universe was expanding with galaxies spread over a (comparatively) tiny distance away from us compared to what his namesake telescope can detect.

I don't if any of the new (earth based) telescope proposals are designed to, let's say, equal the Hubble telescopes magnitude limit in a much shorter time than Hubble does and cover a much larger chunk of the sky while doing it, but clearly, the utility of such a telescope is evident.

I'm just waiting for someone to complain about science and how it's always changing.

I'm not surprised one bit. It's incredible though

Science annoys the crap out of me. Always changing. Make up your mind.
