The Last Days of the Universe.

“In the absence of an outer life, incidents are created by the inner life too.” À la Recherche du Temps Perdu. Marcel Proust.

Moreover I have been the familiar friend of men even greater than you are, and they did not disregard my counsels. Never again can I behold such men as Pirithous and Dryas shepherd of his people, or as Caeneus, Exadius, godlike Polyphemus, and Theseus son of Aegeus, peer of the immortals. These were the mightiest men ever born upon this earth: mightiest were they, and when they fought the fiercest tribes of mountain savages they utterly overthrew them. (…) Not a man now living could withstand them, but they heard my words, and were persuaded by them." Homer. Iliad.

Men are dead gods, from a collapsed temple, not even his dreams were saved, only a shadow has stayed. Atahualpa Yupanqui : Guitarra Dímelo tu.

We are all survival machines for the same kind of replicator—molecules called DNA— but there are many different ways of making a living in the world, and the replicators have built a vast range of machines to exploit them. A monkey is a machine that preserves genes up trees, a fish is a machine that preserves genes in the water; there is even a small worm that preserves genes in German beer mats.

     The universe is expanding. Galaxies are getting away from each other, leaving the matter increasingly isolated and cold. In the past, some astrophysicists believed that such expansion would stop and that the universe would contract again, but this hypothesis has been completely ruled out. The expansion will not stop.
     In about a trillion years (1 followed by 18 zeros) the matter of the galaxies will be absorbed by giant black holes, and in the universe there will not be stars left or any other form of matter. After 100 nonillion years (1 followed by 32 zeros), the little matter left will decompose into mysterious elementary particles. On their own, black holes will "evaporate". In 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years there will not be any current structure of the universe and only a few subatomic particles will persist, lost in the midst of empty spaces. As large as the space the current universe occupies now. And this state will last forever, with no chance of being reversed or changed.
Thus, we have the universe, one thing that came out of nowhere with an unknown cause, that will persist in a strange way, for eternity. Its hollow body will be very much like the null matter that gave birth to it.
