The universe is dying

What 'life' would look like at the very end of the universe would be hard to comprehend. Pure energy beings ekeing out an existence on the event horizon of that last black hole?

Pretty sure I've read a Stephen Baxter book that plays with this idea.

Pointless and somewhat foolish comment and apropos of nothing.

Why do you have to be so rude? I'm just trying to have a conversation about something that interests me.

Apologies - I took it as a passive-aggressive pop at my view point being driven from some psychological need to be important.

I love stuff about space.

No wonder really, there's only so much energy!

Although it does beg the question, in a few billion years what actually happens?
I know the world will end, the Sun will die, expand, go supernova and melt us all - But as people, as species, and as one of probably a whole collection of other worlds, what are we going to do?

Or will we all float around in space in ships with home grown food etc.

I suspect an inevitable path of evolution is for biological life to evolve into Machine Life that can thrive away from the bio life's home planet.

Machine Life may evolve into something even more esoteric and unknowable to us now that may be able to survive the death of our universe in ways we couldn't understand?

Time. Some mind bending concepts in that book, one of his best I think.
