Escape from the Universe

rleyton writes "Prospect Magazine is carrying an excellent article "Escape from the Universe": The universe is destined to end. Before it does, could an advanced civilisation escape via a "wormhole" into a parallel universe? The idea seems like science fiction, but it is consistent with the laws of physics and biology. Here's how to do it."

    That's basically the same question as, if there's intelligent life in the Universe, supposedly much more advanced as us, why aren't we being visited.

    I expect you presuppose your answer in asking the question, but I'll play devil's advocate. :)

    a) wormholes don't exist
    b) there aren't any parallel universes

    That's good enough. Let's deal with phenomena in our universe that's actually been detected (or is even detectable for that matter), and leave theoretical ("phony") mathematics to guys in wheel chairs.
