Cosmic Web: Stairway to Darkness

Within the 93 billion light-year observable horizon, in the 13.8 Billion year fold of time, space expands like silk blown by dark energy. The filament-like structure of the Laniakea Supercluster extends in the absolute zero-degree vacuum. Each "filament" is connected by thousands of galaxies, separated by holes of millions of light-years. They are the bones of the cosmic web and the natural ladder of civilization evolution. There are no human footprints. The protagonists of the universe follow the guidance of gravity and climb in the hierarchical structure. Stars are the cornerstone of energy, galaxies are the cradle of civilization, supergalaxy clusters are the chessboard of games, and dark energy is the final curse hanging over all civilizations. When the gravitational embrace of the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy becomes inevitable in four billion years, and when the Great Freeze is destined to come in 100 trillion years, the fate of the three non-carbon-based civilizations has been woven into a dark future by the basic laws of the universe. Silicon-based civilization "crystal clusters" build nests next to stellar debris, magnetic energy civilization "Star veins" flow in the filamentous structure of the cosmic web, gravitational civilization The "vortex" lies dormant in the core region of the galaxy cluster. They perceive each other, test each other, depend on each other and are enemies of each other. On the ladder of the universe, a civilization epic spanning tens of billions of years is staged.
