Unless we develop the capacity for intergalactic travel and head out to other galaxy groups and clusters, humanity will forever be stuck in our local group.

75% of stars are red dwarfs. Red dwarfs will shine for trillions of years. There will be energy available for a long time, and in comparison the Universe is still young.
Will the CMB be visible in the future?
Here’s a related article that crazy people like me find interesting:

Dark energy gives us the Big Rip, which is a totally cool way to end God’s story. It will be visible. You will literally see the galaxies dissolving one by one, then the stars, then the planets, then the Earth itself.

Jesus said the Earth and the heavens will pass away, and it will be spectacular.
The big bang was a one time event and speaks so loudly of God’s design that the atheists now believe in parallel universes. :)
There’s too much fine-tuning required for life to exist not only on Earth, but our solar system is special too, so is our Milky Way galaxy, and frankly so is the universe. Things like the universal constants have to be just right or life can’t ever exist anyway.
So when I was little the atheists came up with the oscillating universe to explain away the need for God to make things just right for life. That was the belief that the big bang is repeated endlessly, and that each big bang re-writes the laws of physics until by random chance a universe is created that can support life. This was taught by the time I went through school
But two decades ago the Hubble Telescope could see far enough away to realize that the universe’s expansion is accelerating, not contracting. This means that the stuff spread out over the universe isn’t preparing to slow down the expansion and eventually come back to one point and repeat the big bang. The big bang was a One Time Event. Video game consoles have a reset button if things don’t turn out like you want. But the universe had to be just right the first time because there won’t be a second chance.
Want to nerd up on this on your own? Google up the universal constants, which don’t change from place to place or from time to time. They’re the same always everywhere. Also, go to www.reasons.org to see some Christians who are old earthers and read their creation model.
Our whole existence and concept of the universe is just a dream a drunk alien is having in another reality.
The Universe Is Disappearing, And There’s Nothing We Can Do To Stop It
Just curious. The “Big Bang” something blew up. The if so there is another side opposite to us going the other way isn’t there?
An inquiring mind wants to know- what is beyond the edge of the “fabric” of the universe?
We cannot cure the common cold, nor can we do anything to adjust the wind... and they want us to do something about the entire universe's motion??
