The younger the universe actually is, the better I like it. First, we may be among the earliest intelligent species to evolve, so if we can develop the technology for interstellar travel, we may have a big head start on everyone else. Second, the earlier we are in the cosmological history of the universe, the longer we have to play out our destiny. Of course, eventually it all comes to an end, so it doesn't really matter. Nothing really matters ... grumble, grumble. Still, I persevere.

That is not acceptable. Come up with a better theory.
