Mechanical Apocalypse

Question: If robots escape the fate of being "tools", what will they become? Answer: Conqueror of the Galaxy? The creator of mankind? Or is it a self-replicating stardust in the cycle of the universe? Question: When time becomes a closed loop, where is the boundary between life and machinery? Answer: The calcified mechanical skeleton sank into the ocean and gave birth to human beings; the quantum code that restarted human beings gave birth to new machines. Question: What is the ultimate battlefield in the universe? Answer: It's not antimatter annihilation, nor super-light war, but the ray of consciousness swimming upstream in heat death—— "We existed, so the universe must continue to exist." This is an interstellar fable about "who created whom", a self-realization across time dimensions.
