Brian Greene: Why is our universe fine-tuned for life?
some paraphrase and quote
'in a long distant future other galaxies will be so far away that the light we see from them today will not be able to overcome the expanding distance between us .. astronomers will be only able to see a vast "endless stretch of static, inky, black stillness and they will conclude the universe is static an unchanging, and populated by a single central oasis of matter that they inhabit .. a picture of the cosmos that we definitively know to be wrong."
'will they then have records of our present knowledge? .. if so, will they believe the 'ancient knowledge', or will they believe that the universe out there has always been static and black, based on the endless, static, blackness they see?'
