-ingilizce çevirisi şöyleymiş:
------
I imagine the end of the universe.
After tens of billions of years, trillions of years, or in our concepts the enormous number of years have elapsed, the dramatic birth and end of the stars has ended, the absolute zero world dominated by darkness and silence. The bond between the substances weakens and only the elementary particles continue to diffuse forever, and it will end in sparse extinction.
Alternatively, compression of extinction with super concentrated mass due to reversal of the big bang, sharp contraction. In any case, the bogus work that our existence called our life was done on a tiny planet called Earth is disappearing to far beyond the distant time with traces and meanings disappearing.

Plankton, Dinosaurs, Africa, Primates, Giguratt, Religion, Pyramid, War, Slaughter, Peace, Love, Parenting, Pet Dog, Smartphone.
Everything that was beautiful or ugly will be cooled equally and will be annihilated. There is no hope or despair, a world of flat emptiness.
But I imagine further. In the dusk of the world that smiled in the twilighting world that was decided to keep on continuing.

"Golden race".

They refuse to die, including the possibilities of all lives and attending the end of the universe. In order to reconstruct the new world beyond the universe's reason, by the doctrine of life. And while thinking about our humble and loveable business, they continue to smile forever.
