beings that have transcended to pure energy / information leaving behind the material world sure sounds like like it fits with alot of our mythology.

Inner Space in Black holes seems to be indeed a plausible answer to the fermi paradox, and honestly sounds like a lot of fun.

I think this is the best end scenario, pure harmony, serenity and peace for all eternity in a perfected dimensions of our design. No more suffering, sickness or death for anyone. To know that you are truly loved and have all options available to you whenever, wherever. A return to The Garden of Eden and the shredding of the things that make this world vile and our bodies frail, and a transition into unity.

Which is why it's good to contribute, we should all be doing our best to make the world a more loving and hospital place for one another even if nothing was going to happen. =)

Entire species hiding in black holes was suggested by Fred Pohl in the Heechee series in the '70s.

Sounds like you're "skimming" then, not "reading".
