Inevitable Death of the Universe Disturbs Me Greatly

Life hasn't been easy for me, permanent health problems, money always has been tight and so on but still, I'm alive and there are here and there things that make the whole thing acceptable.

Yep, this is pretty much my exact situation too.
 
It is all energy --- always forever everywhere ... forget about the death of a salesmen ... it was just a dream on the sofa in the afternoon long ago.

The Japanese have a word for it, しょうがない (Shoganai) which literally means "It can't be helped" but it means more, living there you can have your whole life be destroyed in a few minutes, like a few years ago, but they just accept it and move on, rebuild everything despite knowing that maybe in a few years another dissaster will come and destroy everything again.
What do they do if the water doesn't recede? If they can't go anywhere else?
 
But can we edit kinetic energy with entropy and call it a day? and then might i introduce the next day starting by now... in a moment to moment theory that considered the loop of time a four way seasonal adult charge with no remedy except a matter anti-matter collision in the park after dark or soporifically spoken Thoths of think indeed. end paragraph return ... cartridge --- hypngogically engaged thought forms.. there of.
 
that time cube seemed at my first comparison to it as an insult but IDK --- I thought it more wrong than right or actually neither wrong nor right just there... a cube.. as it were but the earth is round there are no designated left right up down breakdowns. I remember that I felt the north star was where the cube broke down as the spin we were on is about that star... still I will say we are all energy and energy can neither be created nor destroyed just mutated between matter and other energy forms... --- I think I have worn the regulars down that they enjoy putting up with me. I think?
 
I assumed we were talking about Japan and natural disasters, not some we are all gonna die eventually deal.

But okay we can all be as pessimistic as possible.
We were, but I was using the tsunami as a metaphor as well, just like in a post earlier. As for pessimism, if I succumbed to straight out pessimism, I wouldn't be here. It's that kernel of optimism that keeps things going.
 
It is a very chilling thought isn't it?

I regularly visit a site called Future Timeline.. niftly little thing that amongst it has a Blog dealing with the newest developments in the realm of technology and other areas.

They also have a part of the site where they make predictions about the near and far future based on current scientific data and extrapolations. First they go year by year, then decade by decade and the next few decades are looking very grim for humanity until it gets better through either the widepread usage of life improving technology and/or social advances.

When they start jumping centuries and millennia though it starts to read like pure science fiction but it's at least entertaining until you reach the end of what i call the horror part..

The dark era of the universe*

The last remaining black hole has evaporated.

From this point onwards the universe consists only of photons, neutrinos, electrons and positrons – with no way of interacting with each other.

The universe continues to expand forever... but is essentially dead.

The first time i read that i got actual chills and goose bumps. That is true horror.
