Our universe has existed for nearly 14 billion years, and as far as most people are concerned, the universe should continue to exist for billions of years more.
But according to a new paper, there's one theory for the origins of the universe that predicts time itself will end in just five billion years—coincidentally, right around the time our sun is slated to die.
My only question is can a race....(namely ours)...escape into another universe, or are we cosmologically speaking, about to bite the bullet?

Time is not a physical, or actual concrete entity.
Time is a mental construct that man has devised to make sense out of his environment.
