Perspectives on Evolution

[Anomalocaris]

I wonder what the ultimate output of evolution might be, in say another 10 billions years.  Will life end up doing battle with entropy, creating a kind of homeostatic mechanism which fights off heat death itself?

Heat death of the universe will not occur in just 10 billion years.   It will be many orders of magnitude more than that.

Even the last of the stars currently shinning in our sky and possess planets similar to our own will not wink out for approximately 10 trillion years.     As a matter of fact, these dim but extremely long lived stars are vastly more numerous than brighter but much shorter lived stars more similar to our sun.   It is quite possible that 99% of all planets in the universe orbit these dim red dwarves rather than sun like stars.

If we could manage to transplant ourselves to planets around one those red dwarf stars the we in theory can live there for 1000 times longer than the remaining life of our own sun.
