reality would probably seem a lot less existential!absurd in a happy intergalactic civilization, also permitted by physics.

Nope. If the Big Rip doesn't do you in, the Heat Death of the universe will. Enjoy billions of years contemplating your inevitable demise.

I would still be curious how much I can get out of life in billions of years.

You are curious now. You might become less curious after the first billion years. :-)

PS. I'm not advocating deathism. Just saying that any period of time is insignificant, when compared to a much larger period of time. The billion-year happy intergalactic civilization is still absurdly tiny compared to the eternity of Boltzmann-brain-infested Darkness that follows...

PPS. Or we could just taboo the word "absurd".

As a function of how long the universe will exist? ETA: a short period of time might be significantly located.

This reminds of a website where you can check if the Earth has been destroyed.

Thanks. Now we need one to check the existence of the entire universe. Of course, the site will have to be hosted off-universe.
