Yes, so it seems. But I have the most profound difficulties with a universe that has a specific beginning and which will dribble out to virtually nothing (or very thin something, which is as good as nothing). Such a universe is a "one time affair," and that's just not very satisfying (philosophically). A one-time universe means that there was nothing before the universe, and it ends in nothing; however in between these two nothings is our universe, a bright shining instant of something, which ultimately amounts to nothing after all. I don't like it.

I wonder what the extremely bizzare beings of the future would choose -

Devote their energy to trying to keep entropy at bay to sustain themselves, or choose to try to create a Big Crunch - dooming themselves, while taking the gamble that another favorable Big Bang would occur, so that others may experience existence?
