And we haven't heard anything from more than 13bn light years away, because 13bn years is age of universe.  Every day, there will be spurious signals from just after the Big Bang that we have just received.

I will keep on saying, we know nothing yet, and it will take us 13 billion years to catch up! ::) ::) ::)

But do not worry, our spiritual entities will eventually discover the truth as we will not have bodies anyway! :D :D ;)
