I'm afraid that that's the depressing reality of human existence. We can never know if the visible universe is the whole universe, or just a tiny part of it, because the basic laws of the universe prevent us from observing matter that is farther away in light years than it has existed in years. If the "universe" is essentially a solar system or galaxy in a much larger universe, the nearest component of which is 100 billion or even a trillion light years away, but has only existed for 99 billion years or less, we won't be able to prove that it exists, and we can't prove that it doesn't exist. Up until now, our ability to learn about the nature of the universe was only limited by the tools we could invent to observe the universe with, but soon the limiting factor may be the laws of physics. I find it frustrating to know that we will never be able to answer such questions. As the discussion went on Everybody Loves Raymond: Ray: So God made us smart enough to know that there's an answer, but not smart enough to figure out what it is? Robert: Come on!!!

That's a different beast doing that... read some Terry Pratchett books to find out more. ;) (I think "Hogfather" is the relevant one, but I'm not quite sure anymore... it's been a while.)
