The universe and the galaxy are very different things, and even at the lower end of the two we lack observational data to draw much more of a conclusion about other galaxies than simply that they probably exist.
In any case it's largely irrelevant. We haven't even made it out of our solar system yet, so casting our gaze to other galaxies is largely academic time wasting.
True but it’s fun to imagine the possibilities. Then again that’s what we have sci-fi for. Probably why I love golden age sci- fi due to the spirit of exploration
What sucks is that for years I would buy a massive compendium of the awards winning sci-fi from the previous year. After the sad puppies fiasco and when I saw that to qualify for an award you had to be a non straight/non white leftist (preferably female) who hates America I stopped getting those. Thankfully there is so much older sci-fi that I could spend the next forty years reading every story from the 80s
If you haven't gotten a look at the three I mentioned I really would recommend it. Castalia House has high quality sci-fi and the Wardogs Inc series is among the best.

I agree, it's hard to find decent hard sci fi out there.
