Assuming we are not special, which is a big assumption, we can generalize that every galaxy is moving away from every other galaxy in space. And since The night sky is not full of galaxies in every direction,
I don’t understand this last part. Every time we get a more powerful telescope and train it on an empty part of the sky we find there are galaxies in every direction. They are widely separated, of course, such is the vastness of space, but I don’t think (contrary to some opinions) that we have seen the edge of the universe yet.
I do think we have seen the edge of what we can see, but that is a different thing.
At the beginning mankind thought the whole world was what they could see in their lifetime. The great flood, for instance, was likely a localized flood that was really big , like some of those in the Midwest, maybe. Then we developed ways of transport and the world got bigger, to include other continents! Then came electronic communication and we could talk to the world (and some say made the world smaller, but it actually vastly expanded our horizons.)
We went from “the moon” to planets, and then “solar system”, and then “galaxy” and then “multiple galaxies”; I suspect we have not found the end of it all with “our observable universe.” We’re like the guys on the boat in the Atlantic, thinking the world ends at the edge, when actually there is no “end”, it just keeps going, far beyond our imagination to somewhere far, far distant.
