Congradulations. Yes and in some Universes we never go extinct, we being
intelligent life, we being Anders Sandberg. Anders Sandberg in Universe #
770,985, 123,035 has ascended to be Anders the Magnificent, intersteller
explorer, and free-lance,gynecologist. He among all the others, will
increase the information load both inside and outside the universes. Why
can't all the other Anders be like that one? Those slackers!

As far as Tipler goes (is he doing anything, lately?) strongly stated that it will be organized intelligent life that closes the dimensions of the cosmos in 2 directions; not a purely "cosmological" occurence at all. So basically fast starships, even for tiny bits of super-intelligent dust (Hi Great grandchildren!) will be necessary to accomplish this. Have we even talked about trans-luminal travel or hypertime dimensions? That would be undermining the premises of currently responsible astrophysicists pardigm's ; or c.r.a.p. for short.
Just be happy that the brilliance of those 19th century minds who said with such clarity that the Cosmos is in complete steady-state, and that capitalism would never adjust to evolving situations. Let us drink to an eternal unchanging universe, fellow comrade-worker.
