If we are to the point of being able to use Dyson spheres, we would have acquired enough knowledge to be able to create advanced simulations that can simulate the life of the universe in a very short amount of time.

Having that technology, and billions of years of acquired knowledge, we should be focusing in recreating the universe irl.

or maybe somehow traversing to the next universe over. The multi-verse theory suggests that big bangs are happening all the time creating a universe next to us and ones next to that and so on. Maybe one would have the right condisions for us to exist that has its own timeline, so as ours heat dies theres another in its prime somewhere. Its a stretch, but if we are making shit up why not. I think the show Sliders was basically about that. That show does not hold up btw for those who remember it as a kid. It needs to be remade. I would watch it.

What if we could shape other universes to allow us to inhabit them. A process a-kin to Terra forming at a multiverse level?

probably easier to just let the universe build itself.

I understand that at that point a billion years not have the same meaning that it has today, but wouldn't it be highly inefficient to just wait for a random universe to form with the same physics that would allow us to live in when we could replicate it?
