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?

If they could pull that many rabbits out of a hat, they should do both, and wait it out in their entropy bubble, while the new universe blossomed around them.

What scares me is that it should be going on now - it's not too much to ask from a techno civilization that's been around for a billion years or so. What the hell are they doing, sitting on their butts and doing their world's version of freeping?
