Is the universe dying?
If the Earth is destroyed by global warming, this could be the end of human civilization. Maybe we can migrate to Mars before that happens and then colonize other planets. But what if a time comes when there is nowhere left for humanity to escape? No other worlds, stars, or black holes.
