Description
What happens when surviving your planet isn’t enough… and even your star starts to die?
In this episode of Entropy Rising, we explore what it would actually take for a civilization to survive for billions, trillions, and even longer. Not just avoiding extinction, but pushing all the way to the edge of the universe itself.
We break down real, physics-based ideas like restarting a planet’s core, shielding worlds from solar death, harvesting and extending the life of stars, and eventually moving beyond planets entirely. From Dyson swarms to artificial black holes, this is the long-term survival strategy of a civilization that refuses to die.
At some point, the stars go out. After that, things get weird.
