    The big rip is one theory...

    Another theory is a universal strive for complexion. The ultimate complexion would be "god".

    Couple that with dark matter and a universe that moves out, to move back in, in a more complex state than it was before... And you get close to understanding my "religious" beliefs.

    Here's a possible eye opener for the people of a false religion:

    An atomic scientist is actually atoms trying to understand themselves.

    How's that for a joke

    Reminds me of St Lazarus.

    Two points to consider

    1) heat death for the natural universe may occur but it might not wipe out life. It may be possible to harvest energy in other ways

    2) multiverse and traveling between them. Sure this overgrown marble is dying but we might be able to skip/create other 'verses.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Terry Pratchett wrote about the long-stockings of time.

    Basically, every decision ever taken is like dropping a marble down a pair of long-stockings. You don't know which leg the marble is going to come out off, but it doesn't matter as the universe simultaneously is split in two, hence the multiverse.

    I don't mean to ridicule you, Pape, it's just the best description of a multiverse I have heard except for the descriptions I don't understand.

    So, in one multiverse I am right now having a threesome with Jessica Alba and Alizée in their prime...

    However, in this multiverse I am gonna take my White Wolf up to a night run up a mountain, to howl at the full moon - then off to bed... I am more than content :)
