I'm going to be out in the desert for a couple nights soon at a music fest. That's one of the things I'm really looking forward to is the night sky.

Leads me to think that our universe is a system relative to the surrounding multiverse. We may never answer these questions, since the 11000 years of mental development of humanity. We can always assume, though...we can always dream.
That is a really cool thought that i have never heard before. Anytime i pictured a multiverse in my head i think of it as pretty static for some reason.

They don't twinkle because they don't have a source of radiation; planets simply reflect the light from the observable universe. There is an uncountable number of planets we CANT SEE 
But technology is challenging that obstacle.
If we can locate black holes through the innovation of plotting points over time and determining the shift in gravity, I bet we can find those hidden gems of planets.
Planets can be discovered by measuring their pull on the star they orbit. They make the star wobble.

Little OT, but astronomers have announced a discovery of a "rogue planet", that isn't orbiting a star:

Quote:
PSO J318.5-22 was discovered during a search for the failed stars known as brown dwarfs. Due to their relatively cool temperatures, brown dwarfs are very faint and have very red colors. To circumvent these difficulties, Liu and his colleagues have been mining the data from the PS1 telescope. PS1 is scanning the sky every night with a camera sensitive enough to detect the faint heat signatures of brown dwarfs. PSO J318.5-22 stood out as an oddball, redder than even the reddest known brown dwarfs.
