Our universe is also a black hole destroyer. Quantum mechanics say even block holes must gradually leak energy into surrounding space. This energy can in theory be extracted to do work. Eventually even the largest blackholes will leak all of its energy into surrounding space and no more black holes will remain. When the last black hole has thus evaporated, then universe would truly reach heat death.
Ok fine.
Kinda falls in line with "energy cannot be created or destroyed", if I am reading this post correctly.
But my point whatever we do not know currently does not involve old mythology.
I lean to the entire universe dying from heat death. It makes sense to me on every level from macro physics to QM that nothing lasts forever. Atoms have a shelf life too.
My problem with theists is that they still insist on attaching our current knowledge to old claims, instead of scrapping the old claims.
I lean to a "forever" existing. Although science has not figured out "something" or "nothing" prior to the big bang. The one thing I do not agree with is that a super cognition is needed to figure out which.
I see "all this" as being a giant wave function, cycling from temporary states of off to on, then back to off then on again.
Cognition to me is simply like a temporary snowstorm, or hurricane, based upon the conditions and seasons.
