We’ve no idea.

What we perceive as the universe could be an atom in a much larger universe, which could be an atom in a much larger universe, which could be an atom in a much larger universe, etc. And the atoms in our universe could be universes which contain atoms which are universes which contain atoms which are universes, etc. Infinitely large and infinitely small, all the way up and all the way down. And from no subjective viewpoint anywhere within that chain would you ever be able to see it all.

Just have to hope that nobody upstairs chooses our universe to split as part of a science experiment!
