Dark Era

The dark era is the final stage of the universe’s evolution. By this time, stars have long ceased to shine, black holes have evaporated, and all large-scale structures have dissolved.

Only sparse particles, low-energy radiation, and isolated remnants remain. Interactions become extremely rare as the universe expands and cools toward uniformity. Without concentrated energy sources, meaningful change slows almost to zero.

Time continues to pass, but nothing new forms. The universe persists in a state of near equilibrium, carrying only faint traces of its earlier structure and history.

In the dark era, the universe does not end. It simply becomes still.
