Living forever would be peculiar if nothing else. In 5 billion years or so the Sun is set to balloon, killing the Earth, later the Andromeda galaxy is predicted to collide with the Milky Way, and so an immortal could well spend the rest of time floating through space. That could be quite interesting, but it's also been predicted that all matter in the universe will break down and be converted into energy and that eventually all light will die too leaving nothing but a cold and dead universe.

Could well be. Who knows. Reminds me of the Buddhist koans: 'what was your original face before your mother and father were born?' and 'where does the master of my being go when I die?' Ponder. Ponder.
