(As I understand it, I've subscribed on an approval basis: if I don't like
what I see, I owe nothing. Otherwise, I will continue to receive thirty
new messages per day. <g>)
OK, I like the idea of immortality (except for Dr. Kevorkian, please). But
as I understand it, the Big Bang (if true) means either that the universe
will continue expanding until thermal density (?) goes to zero, or it will
recollapse.
My question: do extropians necessarily believe the universe will reach a
steady-state? Or is the end so far off it can be ignored? Or, as I would
like to believe, will we conquer this universe and just move on to the next
one?
