Securing Fuel for Our Frigid Cosmic Future
Abraham Loeb (Harvard)
TL;DR
This paper explores how advanced civilizations might secure energy sources in galaxy clusters to sustain themselves amid cosmic expansion.
Contribution
It introduces a framework for understanding energy acquisition strategies for civilizations in galaxy clusters during cosmic acceleration.
Findings
Galaxy clusters contain abundant matter for energy resources.
Strategies for energy security in expanding universe are proposed.
Implications for the longevity of advanced civilizations are discussed.
Abstract
Advanced civilizations will likely migrate into rich clusters of galaxies, which host the largest reservoirs of matter bound by gravity against the accelerated cosmic expansion.
