What Keeps Me Awake #10

Because of Dark Energy the Universe is expanding faster and faster. In perhaps as few as 100,000 years all the celestial objects will be so far spread out from each other that the Earth's night sky will be totally empty and completely black! Whatever intelligent life there is then will have no empirical basis for knowing the universe is expanding or anything about the rest of the objects in the universe. This calls into question whether what we observe now has any relevance to the true nature of the universe or is just a relatively, equally distorted view of the cosmos. Maybe more importantly, as scary and humbling as the vastness of the night sky is, would not a perpetually empty dark sky be existentially devastating?
