That's a temporary state. Eventually humans won't die. Consciousness will be uploaded, memories preserved.

We aren't that far away from being able to decode thoughts, memories, and the visual cortex from brains. That's going to leap forward quickly.

Maybe the future will reverse the light cone and revisit everyone and everything that has ever lived. Maybe we're in their simulation.

Maybe the reason we don't see alien AI swarms is because they don't travel in spatial dimensions.

All sci-fi conjecture and fantasy, but brain scanning will get good.

Our physicists claim to have models of how time began and will end. They don't concretely know. With the new observatories, new models are being suggested and old ones discarded. Will Lamda CDM hold?

We still have infant eyes. So much lies beyond the limits of our detection. And frankly, projections of the end of the universe are doomer-coded because society is looking for it to be that way.
