Our world seems made to order for life and happiness. Things get better,
some of the chaos in the universe is turned into order with due credit
to knowledge of physics. We have always wondered if some divine
guidance or ends is in the works. What (wild) speculations do physicists
have on our future as the Milky Way jams across the void? I can think
of a few things. I'll bet most are pipe dreams.
+ We come to understand and control nature as metaphysics and
observations mesh to clue us into what makes everything tick and
why.
+ We fizzle out, party's over.
+ It's an endless joyride.
+ The universe is a large computing device bound and run by God knows
what (but God knows I'm going to find out). We're here as something
is being computed (or the machinery is idle).
+ Deterministic. Things just happen as they happen and get out
of way.
+ Matter is gathering itself into one large bowl of chocolate fudge.
