When the Universe experiences its final moments billions of years from now, is it possible that a hyper intelligent civilization escapes? What are some theoretical ways a society can escape the end of the universe?

assuming intelligent life existed: maybe

What would you consider the end of the universe?

If you mean either of the two leading theories, the Big Freeze or the Big Crunch, no. I don't think any lifeforms will survive those scenarios.

Theoretically, could travel to another dimension, could time travel to when the universe implodes and then explodes (BBT) again, recreating itself. Could time travel back to the beginning of the universe and ride it out for another X amount of billions of years, though that could create a paradox.

There's a pretty cool theory that inside each black hole is a completely new universe. So theoretically I guess you could say if a civilization was advanced enough they could venture through a black hole and into a new universe that isn't ending.

What if they venture into one right as it's ending!?

Then they're the Larry David of aliens.

I've heard of these theories, and it would be incredible if true, but I think the crushing gravity and pressure venturing anywhere near a black hole would destroy just about anything.

If God is real, why would he let the universe end?

I actually said "if" he is real. I think he's as real as Superman and Doctor Doom. But if he is, why let it end?

Do you feel the same way when someone says Allah is real?

So you choose the "SCIENCE FICTION" angle... Maybe we will get lucky and the Uni will change its sex thus extending the life of it...cause THATS SCIENCE!!!!!!

You obliviously didn't read his book.

Nah I'm actually a Christian, I just figured playing it up a little might trigger some atheists.

By which I mean some atheists are chill so I don't dislike atheists as a whole, but the subset of atheists who would actually be emotionally invested in whether or not I believe in God deserve to be triggered by that lmao.

Surtur
If the Christian God does exist I at least wanna meet the one angel with four faces one of which is a lion.

Given that allah is a god, yes, I'd imagine so

I agree. there are many atheists who get too emotional over theists' beliefs

Yeah, but none of the faces are lions. Or bears. Bears would be better, but nope. When is someone gonna make a werebear movie?

You should read the Dark Tower. It has an 8 faced god 2 of which are a bear and a lion. smile

So...one of Bardock42's favorite short stories explores this thought.

http://multivax.com/last_question.html


It's a good read. Read it.




The real question from OP is, "Can entropy be reversed enough to allow intelligence life, as we know it, to outlive heat death?"


and bashar already answers: maybe.


Well, other than maybe introducing some to a great short story, I added ****all to this thread. Okay, weeeee?

I seemed to recall they made a bunch of Killer Bear Movies in the late 70's to compete with Jaws. Bears are the Sharks of the Land dontchyaknow...

Granted all the movies are crap but still...

There is no intelligent life outside a Universe, if it was either the Universe would continue through that life or it'd belong to another Universe.

I hear this idea of time travelling or going to different dimension: this is still keeping the Universe complete because it was never really complete to begin with. Ways to cheat the death of the Universe seem to reinforce the idea that Universes were never enclosed and definitive to begin with, so the only thing that dies with them is an old idea of limit.

Read "Ring" by Stephen Baxter. Epic, monumental. Deals with this topic with an end to the universe that's rather unique. All I'll say is, it has to do with the Great Attractor.
