Immortality sounded good until that last bit... but I think I'd still go with it. By the time the universe begins to die I will have had plenty of time to prepare mentally for my new existence as a solitary mind.

Also, if my body is actually invincible I stand a good chance of escaping the Earth on my own even if humanity were to die out. If any one person had let's say 10,000,000 years to devote to science, research and development I'm thinking they could probably at the very least make it further than where we are now. Most of our time is wasted just trying to survive, with only a very small fraction of it being put toward the kind of developments that might be useful in this scenario. But with time on our side we would eventually come to understand all of the universe's secrets. Granted, there may be hard limitations that make it impossible to avoid the "bad" ending, but I would be willing to take the chance.

Came to post pretty much along these lines.

I'm fucking sure eventually I'll figure out insane ass things and might even be able to travel backwards in time or even create my own universes and attain god like powers. With millions or billions of years of scientific manipulation, the possibilities are truly endless.
