Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust Descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie,
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer and—sans End!

- Omar Khayyám

Looks like we may not even get the Dust.

Thanks for the ***PINK MATTER ALERT*** . I predict that virtual photons will save the day and drive away the evil dark phantom energy. Then the unmeasurable dark matter will no longer be coupled to the evil dark phantom energy. This can all happen after the end of the universe by someone in the past observing dark matter and affecting its properties.
Remember the astrologists, err cosmologists, know the past and future to amazing precision!!!
