it absolutely is
there literally is no way for us to know even know what lies beyond the cosmic horizon. due to the expansion of the universe, light from past a certain point at the edge of the visible universe will literally never reach us. and everything in the universe is moving away from everything else as the universe expands. so, sometime in the far future, all the other galaxies we see now are going to be past that cosmic horizon and there light will never ever reach the life that would exist here at that point in time.

comparing it to discovering dinosaur fossils would only make sense if there was a theoretical part of the earth's interior that we have never detected and will never be able to detect and will never ever even know that it's there, and there are dinosaur fossils in that.
