- View what the modern science points to what the future looks like from the present year all the way to trillions upon trillions of years into the future.
- A quote by Helen Keller was displayed: "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence."
The Anthropocene era begins. Natural occurrences, such as the River Nile shifting, tornadoes, and New York City flood happens, as well as the revolutionary humans space and survival landing on Mars, and Earth's magnetic field flip. Comet Hale-Bopp returns in the year 3357, followed by drastic sea level rising, a 30-meter asteroid impact, and Antares becoming supernova. Sahara becomes tropical in 14,811, and Voyager 1 passes nearby star in 38,874. In 97,583, a supervolcano erupted, followed by the Apollo 11 footprints fading in 968,657, and Betelgeuse becoming supernova in 1,618,565. A Gamma-ray burst occurs, followed by Mars' moon becomes a ring in 13,109,213, whereas Saturn's ring fades in 26,565,938. Antarctica then melts in 43,343,155, followed by a major asteroid impact in 70,606,131, and supercontinent Pangea Ultima in 153,793,159. The Sun's luminosity increases in 427,821,025, which caused plants to die in 833,270,413, and life as a whole on 2,952,729,059. The Sun then expands and becomes Red Giant, and died as a white dwarf in 7,650,412,497. Other stars then slowly die, making the universe end in the opposite way from a bang.
The Degenerate Era begins in the year 134 trillion. The universe is filled with rocks and brown dwarfs, luminated by white dwarfs. Some brown dwarfs collide and form supernovas, whereas neutron stars making a brighter supernova. Any extraterrestrial life might live in white dwarfs, but even they will die and become black dwarfs. Aging, degenerate stars will then be sucked by a supermassive black hole. The film then looks at the possibility of "a fluctuation," the expansion of the universe and the cyclic model in the year 9 billion trillion trillion. However, protons might decay, making a matter impossible to exist.
With protons decaying, the Black Hole Era begins. The universe will be filled with solar systems of black holes, and particles of light wandering around. At some point, binary black holes might exist, and releasing massive energy when they merge. The era ends in the year 159 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion, when the Hawking Radiation comes to life, which makes black holes die, and darkness lighted back. The universe then expands again by the dark energy, and if continues expanding, will cause the universe to expand forever, the universe becoming colder as it expands.
If willing to do so and having the resources, theories predict that humans can create a virtual or real-life universe of their own, looking at the possibility of a multiverse. However, if humans can't do so, entropy will destroy the last remaining black holes. The last black hole evaporates in year 15 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion, and the universe ends in the year 10 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion. Time has no more value, and the universe becomes "nothing but a sea of photons gradually tending towards the same temperature as the [universe's expansion] cools [it up to] absolute zero," said Brian Cox.
A bright, white star, bathing the universe in stellar, stripe-shaped lights for one last time. Last scene, featuring the universe emitting light one last time. Invisible light particles are simplified as stripes, similar to of sperms. Red stripes represent hotter particles. The incomplete quote[4] by Keller is then completed: "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence. And I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content."
After the short credits, a text reads "For Ash," the name of Boswell's child, born January 1, 2019.
