Default Pulsating universe theory

Some drinks got me thinking...

Assuming the universe will eventually colapse on itself and do the big bang thing over and over again:

Could we escape this fate w/ a spaceship? Could we have enough power to fly "out" of the universe and escape its gravity? If so what would happen to the universe? Would it be just short of the matter required to do its thang?

where would you fly out of the universe to? remember, the universe is all of space and time. also, on a practical level, the universe is way too big to fly across.

Yes you could. The spaceship will be waiting behind the next comet to come along. You have to have enough faith to kill yourself first though to board it.

we dont know that for sure. Also, this question is entirely hypothetical and based on an assumption.

Wouldn't it be easier to just artificially keep the universe from imploding?

Or travel backwards in time a bit?

In fact, this seems like the obvious answer.

Your wacky schemes can't save you.

One day you'll just have to die, like all the others.

By the time we have to worry about the universe imploding, we'll be advanced enough that we won't have to worry about dying if we don't want to.

Assuming we make it that far.
