When all gravity runs out, and all forces fizzle into the vaccuum, entropy returns to a single maximally ordered state indistinguishable from any other. Identical conditions for a Big Bang.
Consider time itself: one beginning, and many endings. Why many endings? And who even asks the question in the first place? Many intelligent observers, with many endings, but the same beginnings. Perhaps the black holes are a hint to our own ending?
We're born and blink into existence. And then we die and fade into the void, carrying our varied stories with us.
Logically, it doesn't make sense, and we can't possibly know the answer. But what if all those ends wrapped around to the same beginning?
Would you look at the world differently?

what does this mean?
A theory is: blackholes give off Hawking radiation at the end of their lives.
I'm of course, oversimplifying things for a fun thought experiment. Everyone wonders about reincarnation, death, and the 'end of time'.
Just a thought experiment that's not grounded in anything. We all believe what we want and act accordingly.

- Time is strictly perceptual. The Universe as a whole (including changes in the fourth dimension) has always existed and will always exist. There is no 'end of time'.
- When your portion of the universe runs out (death) you just rerun it again. Because linear time is an illusion that helps us make sense of it (and not fear the future) and in reality we're skipping all over the place constantly. Forever. So hope your life isn't terrible. You're going to be reliving it infinitely. Enjoy.
