They (scientists) think there are hundreds of thousands of galaxies because the universe is limitless so there may be billions of galaxies!
The universe contains countless galaxies, think of the universe as a galaxy of galaxies.

Yes. Scientists haven't been able to explore other galaxies. I believe that there is life in other galaxies just like Earth. but how do they explore galaxies? i mean how do they know there are other galaxies? do they have any proof of lik=fe on other galaxies? ^^^^^^^
they think that....
Yes
Scientists currently do not know what is inside the universe beyond what we can observe. The universe is thought to be mostly composed of dark matter and dark energy, but the exact nature of these components remains a mystery. The universe is continuously expanding, and its interior beyond what we can see is still a subject of speculation and research.
I don't think anybody has enough information about 100 billion galaxies to do that. The current estimate, that the observable Universe has about 170 billion galaxies, is simply based on observing a small sample of the sky.
Many scientists consider the possibility life exists elsewhere in our universe (and more particularly even within our own galaxy) quite likely. A few do not think it is likely.
Because galaxies don't expand. The universe expands. Think of galaxies as little spots on a balloon. When you blow it up the surface gets larger not the little spots, but the spots do get further apart. Gravity creates the extreme flatness that you observe. Moments after the big bang the initial structure of the universe was set, that applies to the size of the galaxies as well. The only observable difference is the galaxies were a lot closer to each other in the beginning. Gravity then took over and started effecting the closest galaxies by pulling them closer together. The galaxies face a battle between the expanding universe and the gravity of other galaxies.
The big bang or a wormhole
They collided with another galaxy
