On the contrary, it would not, and the continuing (entropic) expansion of the
universe has effects at the atomic level, destructuring and de-energising the
fundamental quanta form which life evolved. There would not be enough time, because
the evolution of life in *this* universe was a one-time-only, one-shot locker. If we
blow it now it is gone forever.
