ABANDONING THE 'FINAL FRONTIER'

Are our astronomers drawing the line and closing off exploration of the "Final Frontier"?

Viewing recent papers, a number of them are printing what amounts to placing a hiatus if not a gap on exploring far reaches of the universe and constraining to the local universe. More writings exhibit distinction between global and local effects.

A slap in the face for total information of existence and for those who support it like the late Carl Sagan' s exhortations. This could constrain wholistic comprehension.

More phrasing is seen like the following hinting at abandoning far reaches discoveries-

"Objects at the far edge of the universe can have whatever speed they want, because they're far away." "the very idea that  the motion of distant galaxies could affect local dynamics is profoundly anti-relativistic."

They say, lets focus on the local field and learn about its elements while the rest of the universe is too far and complex to learn about.

Is this a tactical retreat in the current face of interpreted data which indicates apparent mismatch of readings on some values of the early universe history versus  those that represent currently developed data?

There are now arisen many different points by scientists trying to explain the features of the universe but those will not need to be entered here because the overall tendency is to have the data produce a gap by alleged discrepancy (s).
