No, actually I haven't. I lack a) immortality, b ) a suitable spaceship and c) a name like Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged.

Eh, good point. You might want to work on that name.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

Nevertheless, the Universe does not have an infinite amount of stuff to insult, so eternity would still be a tad too long.

But as time passes in the universe, new things will appear vastly faster than we can fly to and insult them, so we'll never run out of things to do.

Which it probably won't. The Universe looks like it's going to balance its own expansion out perfectly and reach a constant size.

Is insault a cross between insult and assault??

Not really, Senty. It's accelerating, not slowing down like it should. The Universe will rip itself apart.

It will either balance perfectly or go for a "big rip". We can't accurately predict which one yet.

Hey, I'm just saying the leading theory. It's accelerating. What force in the Universe can stop it now?

Why would it rip itself apart, it'll just scatter itself thin... first time I'm seeing 'Big rip'.

Freaky Dark Matter?

Dark Matter theoretically provides enough gravitational force to slow the expansion, while Dark Energy theoretically keeps it accelerating.
If it does accelerate to a great enough speed, then theoretically solid objects and then even atoms themselves will be ripped apart, hence, Big Rip.

You know it's theoretically possible that the entire planet earth could suffer total existence failure? There's a very small chance that a whole atom can randomly completely decompose, and if it happened to every atom in the planet simultaneously...

Of course, the chances of that actually happening are smaller than the chances of Elvis, Nat and Hitler being alive, Dramione happening, and Bill Gates paying people for forwarding emails, all simultaneously.
