> Might there be some space/time mechanism at play whereby we're actually seeing the same handful or so of galaxies? Nope. Current evidence is that space is infinite. Even if that was all wrong, then its incredibly large due to inflation and our past light cone is one tiny bit of it. As time goes on we're seeing more and more of it, and parts that used to be in contact before inflation are only just coming back into contact again (their past light cones overlapping). Those are all unique galaxies. An awful lot of physics would have to be wrong for that to not be true. "Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
