A less common Sci-Fi motive, which I have only read about in certain Azimov and Arthur C. Clarke books, is that of the human race dying. I have been listening to Ayreon 01011001 and it is a common theme. There are intermediate reprises, where the humans seem to discover new aliens to evolve to their own level or create a new empire etc. But I wonder whether when the time comes (suppose we never discover more advanced space flight and it actually becomes impossible to preserve a human in cryogenic sleep or we have to rely on beginning to replicate cells once a stable planet is reached or we live through generations on the way to a new planet or create our own capable of sustaining life around the red-giant sun... okay so there are a bunch of solutions) will humans be individually advanced enough to accept their fate and to give way to new life. Even then the question remains: with or without our help?
this very stupid topic. ignores
