We Found a Loophole to Survive the End of the Universe

Kurzgesagt dives into the universe’s distant fate: after the last star dies, galaxies dissolve, and black holes evaporate, everything ends in a cold, empty void. It seems like eternal darkness is inevitable… but there might be a clever workaround.

The “loophole”? Harvesting Hawking radiation from evaporating black holes (or even engineering tiny ones) as an ultra-low-power energy source. By running super-slow computations, entering deep hibernation, or exploiting quantum fluctuations, a civilization could stretch its existence by trillions of years—buying time in an otherwise lifeless cosmos.
