Since it takes millions of years for starlight to reach the Earth, how do we know if we're not all that is left in this universe. Maybe our sun is the last star left.

@7

It does not take (all) starlight millions of years to reach us. The closest star is only 4.5 light years away and most of the stars we can see with our naked eye are less than 200 light years away.

As for the entire universe possibly winking out of existence and we won't know about it for years and years - that's not possible when you take into account that dark energy is pushing space apart at an ever increasing rate.
