The Star at the End of Time

The video explores the distant future of our galaxy and the potential for life to persist through cosmic events. It discusses the role of energy in sustaining life and delves into the life cycles of stars, particularly red dwarfs. Red dwarfs, with their long lifespans, may become the last warm places in the universe, potentially supporting new life. The video speculates on the implications for future life and the galaxy as red dwarfs evolve and eventually fade away.
