hello mary, to those who have met me in person including some on this thread, and those who know me, i am one of the most optimistic and sun shiny persons known

so, on that old score, i am not concerned

as to 'ultimately', it will not be long, at least not long enough to matter, and in any case, the degree of burn is a non-linear function of elapsed time to burning event

i am optimistic enough to know that we will survive the burn, but some better off than others, as always

As to <<It is pointless to plan for failure>> ... each to his own, but, as a matter of altruism, as opposed to ... well, best left unsaid, I figure it is good to warn, as in being responsible

About <<Mankind may not survive the systemic cosmic collapse>> ... I figure we will.

But regarding <<But, it is pointless to give up>> ... who is giving up? You?

You really must better connect cause and effect, do and don'ts, true and false, was and will be, along with is, and astute vs foolish, maybe and of course, .. etc

1."Ultimately, we all die."
2."The sun will burn out."
3."Our universe will collapse and our galaxy will sink into some black hole."

#1. No doubt.
#2. Not very likely in any time frame that is relevant. The US$ will collapse first.
#3. No science on this. All guesses based on speculations built on clues. Fails the falsefiability test. Currently, no possible way to reconcile quantum field theory with general relativity. Suggest you check out Paul LaViolette and his work on subquantum kinetics. Consensus "science" on these subjects is highly political. That means somebody has a financial/power interest in the result, and not an interest in the truth.
