 That probably means the pocket universe looks
 like it has a lot more
 stars in it -- after
 10^5 years, on the order of a trillion.  That's
 somewhat more than in our galaxy, but they
 would also appear to be
 further apart than
 usual.  If there were any (even very thin) clouds
 of interstellar dust or gas in the pocket
 universe, even that wouldn't
 be
 visible.

 The time required before problems associated
 with Olber's Paradox
 start to manifest
 in a space three parsecs around would on the order
 of billions of years.  Even then, they're
 soluble to any entity
 capable of creating
 such a space in the first place.
