Why should it concern you if it does not affect you at all?

Does the universe contain regions that cannot have any interaction with each other?
I'm not thinking about event horizons derived from a black hole but regions of space that are so far apart that they could never shared information from each other?
What I mean is is there a specific circumstance where something happening at point a can never (i.e. given as much time as you like) affect something a point b.
I was wondering about the expansion of the universe and how things seem to be getting father apart (on the very macro scale); would we ever get to a point where every partical in the universe was so far from every other partical that there would be zero interaction and it got me thinking if this could be happenig with regions of the universe.
I guess I'm thinking only spatially (as I think time is just another distance like point of reference) but I guess there could be time 'evet horizons', too.
BB and cosmology, please.
I read from an atheist that reality is what humans know that affects humans.
And his attitude is that if anything or any idea at all does not affect humans, then he should not concern himself with it.
If you are an atheist who subscribe to that attitude, then you should not be at all be curious about the subject of your thread.
Remember, your fellow atheists adopt a mantra of "We don't know" when they are asked what comes outside and beyond the Big Bang, and they are very humble about not knowing anything that might at all come from outside or beyond the Big Bang.
So, on the one hand I must congratulate you that you are not of that attitude of not being concerned about anything at all which to your mind does not affect you or mankind at large.
But on the other hand, I am asking you, do you also adhere to the mantra that outside and beyond the Big Bang you don't know anything, or you cannot know anything, notwithstanding however the presumably above average intelligence you possess?

No need to get emotional.

I won't act emotional if someone just tells me that I am thinking outside the box bounded on one end by the Big Bang and the other end by an expanding observable universe.
I will tell him in return to try thinking outside the box.
