One negative about this is that everything above appears to be correct. It is difficult to construct, from currently observed facts, a plausible future that won’t inevitably result in intelligent beings ‘tiling’ the universe in some way. (not necessarily a bad thing, and with such big numbers if humans become extinct some other species should do the same thing) Yet we look through telescopes and this has not yet happened. This is unusual and implies that the rules may not be what they appear. (note that modern physics has had an incredibly brief existence, within that of a single human lifespan. That is, someone could have been born when the modern understanding of physics and astronomy had not yet been discovered (1964 ?) and still be alive now.)
Also the pointlessness of death—the future you describe is stupidly grim because if humans are still limited to 100 years, from each person’s individual perspective the entire universe ends when they die, and therefore this kind of unbelievably amazing accomplishment means nothing to them personally.
