"But this was an angle that I hadn’t thought of before. At some point in the future there will be somewhere in the universe where there will be a last sentient being. And a last thought. And that last word, no matter how profound or mundane, will vanish into silence along with the memory of Einstein, Elvis, Jesus, Buddha, Aretha, & Eve, while the remaining bits of the physical universe go on sailing apart for billions upon billions upon billions of lonely silent years."
