Our 3M telescopes can just see distant galaxies if they take ten minute 
photos.
Light from every galaxy in the universe passes through every point in the 
universe but because it is quantized, and moves so quickly, even the 
total contribution from 10 billion galaxies doesn't amount to much. 
Besides, direction enters the equation too. 

If you were suddenly dropped into remote space, it would be very black 
everywhere around you unless you were close to a galaxy.

The Pointed Pinhead aka Paul Draper, Odd Bodkin, Gary Harnagel, IRC and 
numerous other names is a complete idiot.
