The universe is (supposedly) infinite. Space however is not. Space started (by current theories) with the Big Bang. Therefore it started finite. Something finite can not be infinite. There will always be a boundary, it's just that's it's so large that we say it's infinite.
If space was infinite, then Ragol (in some form) would exist somewhere. In an infinite universe, everything is possible. This can not be denied in an infinite universe (especially since lots of it is at least factual based (apart from techs)).
But since space is finite, it's pretty much 0 that it doesn't exist.
I like the quote from Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Quote:It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
