Cosmic expansion will erase all evidence of the Big Bang from future astronomers' view

Summary
The universe's accelerating expansion will eventually carry every galaxy beyond the Local Group past the cosmic horizon, making them permanently invisible. Future astronomers would see an empty sky with no evidence of the Big Bang—no cosmic microwave background, no redshift-distance relationship, no primordial element abundances. As argued by Krauss and Scherrer, they would reasonably conclude they live in a static, eternal galaxy, unaware of the universe's dynamic origin. This raises profound questions about what cosmological evidence we ourselves may have already lost.
