If one believes that life and civilization arise naturally, then there is no need to take extraordinary steps to (re)create or preserve them.

But there's always that nagging little doubt, the contemplation of which induces a shudder (or ought to):

What if this cosmos, our current home, is the one and only cosmos that has ever been or will ever be?

Protect the thalamus. Patience.

Every morning when I wake up, the whole universe gets recreated instantly from scratch, right up to last night. That's how I think it works, anyway.

If one wants to survive the demise of the universe, then plan to die.

"What if this cosmos, our current home, is the one and only cosmos that has ever been or will ever be?" Asking of 'ever been or will ever be is the wrong question. Future time is merely one variable expression of dimension Time, as are present and past, much the way linear, planar, and volumetric (for want of better terms) are variable expressions of dimension Space.

The expansion quotient is directly proportional to the energy condensed into matter, kind of like latent heat of eveporation.
