We Found a Loophole to Survive the End of the Universe

Kurzgesagt dives into the cosmic finale known as heat death—when all stars burn out, galaxies drift apart, and even black holes slowly vanish, leaving an ever-cooling, inert void. It’s the ultimate “game over” for a universe that’s run out of fuel.

But hope isn’t totally lost: theorists have spotted a potential loophole. By tapping into quantum effects or exploiting the very last trickles of energy from evaporating black holes, life—or at least information—might eke out an existence in eternal cold. It’s a wild, speculative lifeline against an otherwise terminal cosmos.
