My enlightened sphincter has accidentally given birth to a murderous doppelganger, however due to various temporal issues, we are unsure now which of us was the original. What should we do?

Is it possible that the reason we aren't shrouded in permanent daylight has nothing to do with a finite number of stars but is because the universe is expanding at a rate faster than the speed of light? Is the universe simply a singularity within a singularity within a singularity?

But a singularity within a singularity is just a singularity.

To illustrate please look at this, on the left is a singularity, on the right is that same singularity within another singularity

If we were to genetically modify a child so that they grow up being able to see ultra-violet light, would they perceive this as a new colour, or would it appear as a familiar colour?

No, it is because there is dark matter present in the universe that hinders the light coming our way. Little specs of dust or anything over the course of billions of miles can block light.
