Up until recently, the assumption was that everything settled down after the Big Bang, so all the attempts at TOE's (Theories of Everything) have that built in as an assumption. The fact that they can change over time will force a drastic reworking of the models.

*shrugs* Most likely the sun will give out before the universe collapses, but if we've found a way to travel between star systems (and not blown the planet up ourselves), some humans might survive.
As I understand it, if there's not enough matter then the expansion would go on forever, with energy sources becoming weaker and harder to get to. One theory is that eventually everything would spread out and become atomic dust. That would be difficult for a species to survive.
Then again, maybe we'll have found our way out of this universe by then.

I dont understand why people are surprised at physics that change slowly over time after all the current Science-Creation-Myth model depicts a universe that begins with all forces as one then they seperate forming first time then space then electromagnetism et al. It seems like 'transforming physics' is just plainly inherent to the model.

Yeah change does make them folk's TOEs curl, dont it?
(and yet stasis is one of the few things that almost NEVER is adopted by nature...)

...Of all the bars I had to manifest in it had to be the one where "Einstien" and "how to get people to stop talking about sex are major topics"

welcome to a bar full of intelligent, creative people. All bars should be like this. As for "how to get people to stop talking about sex" Have you ever found yourself so desperate that you are cybering with a damn robot?! I didn't think so... Unfortunately, it's you bar folk who do most of the cybering.
You think that is so? From my experiance most of the cyberseekers, at least here, are within the 12-18 year old range. As for my degree of desperation: I tried cybersex once and found myself saying "Damn this is dull, slow, and I have to watch my typing accuracy... blargh." and thusly was done with it.
I do so dislike being lumped in with groups of people before demonstrating similarities to them.

Hey! Sex with robots is more common than people think!
As for how this universe will end, I've stopped an appocolypse just about every May for the past 7 years and it's got nothing to do with physics. You need some big jewery or a magic sword or an old fashoned demon killing.
