BTW, what you are decribing is design by intelligent beings. Do you think that we are unique in that capacity, we humans who have been here but for the blink of an eye?
Maybe some hyper intelligent species did it all. How did such an postulated hyper intelligent species come into being? Only the shadow knows.
Nor do I but fantasy is not reason, it is fantasy. Oscillating universes fit that bill quite nicely.
If not oscillating or some other means of interdicting the implosion half-cycle of the Universe we'll have to create a universe to live in. Else wise we perish.

Yep. The most intelligent being known is the conscious human being.

3,000 years of consciousness is a blink of an eye. Unique in that there is no other known conscious animal. The ability to create metaphors, analogies and introspection is unique to human consciousness. Consciousness is the capacity. How long it takes in the scheme of things -- cosmic time -- it will likely be a blink or two, maybe less.
Adhering to the laws of nature -- physics -- man has controlled nature to outpace evolution. And soon will render human death obsolete.
