[ExI] The tools humanity will need for living in the year 1 trillion

[John Grigg]

 "The paper, "Securing Fuel for our Frigid Cosmic Future", recently
appeared online. As he indicates in his study, when the Universe is ten
times its current age (roughly 138 billion years old), all stars outside
the Local Group of galaxies will no be accessible to us since they will be
receding away faster than the speed of light. For this reason, he
recommends that humanity follow the lesson from Aesop's fable, "The Ants
and the Grasshopper".

"Dr. Loeb also indicated where humanity (or other advanced civilizations)
should consider relocating to when the expansion of the Universe causes the
stars of the Local Group to expand beyond the cosmic horizon. Within 50
million light years, he indicates, likes the Virgo Cluster, which contains
about a thousands times more matter than the Milky Way Galaxy. The second
closest is the Coma Cluster, a collection of over 1000 galaxies located
about 336 million light years away."
