Portions of this universe are over 100 billion years old--that translates
directly to 100 billion light years... that is a lot of distance... even
thought the echo of the big bang itself may have subsided, I just cannot
believe we can't hear bounces of other signals (signals which cannot be
accounted for)...

Warmest regards,
John
