Perhaps humans will build a silicon-based consciousness on each planet they colonize. Each planet-based consciousness in the galaxy could then communicate with one another to build a one-off galactic consciousness by structuring the gravitons flowing between then star systems, though its light-based speed of thought would be far slower than that of humans. Ditto for each galaxy humans eventually reach in the observable Universe, and then the whole Universe. This Universal Consciousness based on gravity then "begins" to reach back in time (using a theory of physics we haven't yet worked out enabling gravity to transcend time) to ensure fine-tunings so one planet in one galaxy 14 billion yrs after the Big Bang evolves monkeys then humans who then mutate as they colonize the galaxy and build silicon-based AI and eventually a single Universe-wide gravity-based consciousness.
If the Universe continues expanding and never comes to an end, then such a Universal gravity-based consciousness need never finish being built, it only needs to be continually being built. If a graviton-based consciousness can indeed reach back in time, not only would the Universe increase in entropy over time, but also increase in intelligence. There goes the weak anthropic principle out the window!
