Depressing Discovery

I was just reading Time Magazine and surfing the web at the same time (something I do a lot) and their main article was on the end of the Universe. Judging from many new tests and the like they now know what were all heading for oblivion (in a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion . . . you get the idea). Dark energy which acts as a sort of anti-gravity will push everything apart, and eventually all that will remain will be black holes, which too will fall apart (yes dark energy can do that). Then there will be nothing, unless somehow the Big Bang occurs once again.
