Over the last decade our picture of the universe has changed almost as much as it had in the preceding century. As a result, our picture of the future, both of the universe, and life within it, has dramatically altered as well, as I shall describe here. I will begin by reviewing the recent revolutionary developments in cosmology, and then address several fascinating questions that have arisen as a result of our discovery that the dominant energy of the universe resides in empty space: Can life be eternal in an eternally expanding universe? Are the laws of physics tailored for the existence of life? What will science in the far future tell us about the universe?
Antigone Books will have copies of his books available for sale at the meeting.
