A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics by three researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands has dramatically
I don’t think life will cease to exist permanently in the universe though. I mean we can’t even be sure that the Big Bang was the start of life as we know it.
The big bang was the start of the observable universe as we know it. That is a very important distinction.There is no telling what is beyond what we can observe. Science has no apparatus for guessing what is beyond the 13 (or is 14) billion light-year mark. It could be that that line is the limit of existence. It could be that there is infinite nothing beyond it. It could be that we are just one pocket in a greater universe. We do not know, and honestly I don't think there will ever be a way for us to know for sure.
Advancements in gravitational wave observations may allow us to "see" past the CMB. That would push back the time we can observe but likely won't change the fundamental limit you're describing.
Fuck, better get my bucket list in order then. /s

what if the big bang was the end of life as they knew it
and so it was
The big bang was the start of the universe, not the start of life.

But then the universe is everything right? Who’s to say there wasn’t “another universe” before the big bang?
That is an existing hypothesis, yes. That the universe is cyclical.
much like the cyclical nature of most other things within the universe.. it would make sense.
That doesn't make the big bang the beginning of life either way
Fair enough, science was always my worst subject (despite my best attempts.)
