Jürgen Schmidhuber is painting an image of the future of our Universe. And it's plain to see, we are neither a real part of it, nor is it our Universe at all. "In 2050 there will be trillions of self-replicating robot factories on the asteroid belt," he tells the audience at WIRED2016. Humans are not going to play a big role there, but that's ok. We should be proud of being part of a grand process that transcends humankind more than the industrial revolution.
