It seems like everyone is ignoring a basic factor here. We're living, intelligent creatures. I'm no expert on nuclear fusion, dark matter, dark energy, entropy, or thermodynamics, but no one really is. We get curious, find something out, and do something that was thought impossible just a year ago. It's just what we do! I know that, even if it takes a billion years, and even if we can only sustain one planet, we can keep things going. We just need the knowledge. As for this talk of breaking the laws of physics, think of this as an example. Gravity is supposed to draw us to earth, but a rocket weighing 56,000 pounds can break free. Though it seems to break the laws of physics, it is simply manipulating them.
