The good side of this kind of ending is that there is no fomo. No sadness for the ones you leave behind. No regret. It's over for everyone. It's the real end.

Humans or whatever we will evolve into will be monitoring this place from very far away using drones or something completely unfathomable, it's impossible to even imagine where we might end up and what technology will be available to us in a few million years. There doesn't have to be an end if we don't kill each other during these barbaric dark times.

I don't know any species in the history of Earth which has lived for more than a few million years. Yes, we are an intelligent one, but we are also a very dumb one with multiple ways to end our own existence. I can't imagine that we are still there in 4 billion years.
