... We won't. Nothing will. What you're talking about is the total collapse of space/time. And we're talking about time on an infinitely long scale, here. The probability that humanity won't exist by then is, according to many here, is 1 (.999999999999999999999999999... = 1)


do you mean 1/999999999999999999999 or 9999999999999999999/1?

Ninepepper.. i dont know what youre talking about... however episodic how are you so sure we will survive?

You mean that we won't survive?

Laws of averages. 65 million years ago all dominant forms of life were wiped.

300 million years ago, there was another grand extinction.

Something will give us the smackdown as a species eventually - and long before 5-15 billion years culminate.

z0mb13.. i dont think so.. we have a magnetic field.. and even if it does.. we will still have survivors by then

You obviously haven't seen the movie Armageddon. Yeah. Those things are out there, somewhere.
 
The stupid humans will destroy the earth and everything on it before the turn of the 3rd millenium. It will turn into Mars.
 
You're all off, we on this planet are doomed way, way earlier then that considering our natural resources AND o-zone layer will be depleted in about 1 ten millionth that time.. our poor planet might even get disentigrated by a passing asteroid within that time too.. who knows!
 
LoL.. i think by then we wouldve found new elements.. and inhabited new lands... but maybe something could strike the earth... im sure scientist are figuring something out about that.. BTW: those extinction periods are not certain 100%

You forget, the Dinosaurs didn't have a space program. If we get our hairless mammilian butts off this pretty blueish rock, even to barely self sustaining martian and lunar colonies, our chances of longterm survival shoot up drastically. If we macguyver up FTL travel, and colonize one or more GALAXIES our chances of survival during that period (to the end of time) shoots up to damn near one.

OK.. read my post about the force pulling all galaxies back.. do you think we will be able to reach a new UNIVERSE?

Read my posts.

I wouldn't rule it out.

Tell me how to move faster then light without desintegrating and I'll be more supportive of that scenario
 
So i did read your posts... but i dont think theres another universe... if there is not.. and we get pulled in the black hole.. how will we at least save something to show civilzations after us we were there?

Note, I didn't say how or when. I said if. IF we can do it, then my statement if valid. There are some semi crackpot ideas out there. Ultimately, who knows. It looks like C is the absolute limit for macroscopic objects, but IIRC, quantum entanglement can transmit information FTL. Plus, science has ammended itself many times in the past. Obviously, general and special relativity are both well verified, but so was newtonian mechanics, at one time.

As I said, the point is, if it's possible and we figure it out then we're golden.
 
Perhaps we will evolve into energy beings and when matter collapses on itself by then, it wont matter? haha! hoho!





hehe!

crackpot ++;
