There was also this:

It was assumed that the universe would eventually stop contracting and end up in a "big crunch".
The plot is basically "bussard ramjet spacecraft gets its engines stuck and goes faster and faster until the universe ends and a new one expands".
Ignoring for narrative purposes there not being anywhere "outside" of a contracting universe.
Such a plan may sound absurd. But there is nothing in physics that forbids such a venture. Einstein’s theory of general relativity allows for the existence of wormholes, sometimes called Einstein-Rosen bridges, that connect parallel universes. Among theoretical and experimental physicists, parallel universes are not science fiction. The notion of the multiverse—that our universe coexists with an infinite number of other universes—has gained ground among working scientists." From article... The infinite concept is probably a human made conncept so and anyway 1 million years is probably more than enough to change your "identity" a few hundreds time (at least). So this surving the end of the universe is a bit too much to consider even in the wildest fantasies ;)
