I think "forever" is generally understood as "for relatively long, but finite values less than the remaining lifetime of the universe"


That depends. Just how much mad science are you willing to engage in?


All of it. All of the mad science.


Well then, I can happily inform you that depending on just how physics works out, we might just get a solution to that whole "heat death of the universe" problem. Too early to tell, precisely, but I've heard some neat things about new child-universes forming inside black holes such that they torque space itself and generate non-conserved new mass-energy.


Citation, please?


Seen on /r/science a while ago, let me go grab the paper. Aaaand it's torsion, my mistake. http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.0587
