Metastasis; noun, plural me·tas·ta·ses [-seez]

1.Pathology. a: the transference of disease-producing organisms or of malignant or cancerous cells to other parts of the body by way of the blood or lymphatic vessels or membranous surfaces. b: the condition produced by this.
2. transformation.
3. Rhetoric. a rapid transition, as from one subject to another.
4. Physics. a change in position or orbit of an elementary particle.

Since this process of transformative transference occurs at both the sub-atomic and cellular levels, it stands to reason that a Macro-Galactic version must also exist. The recent astronomical discovery of an exceptionally Large Quasar Group appears to represent said possibility.
 
There we can observe over 70 supermassive black holes and luminous galactic cores interspersing as far across as 4 billion light years. This conglomerate matter comprises perhaps 5% of the entire known cosmos; stupendous figures by any reckoning. So much insight may be derived simply by gazing long and hard into this turbulent spectrum.

But back to the matter at hand: are these quasars in the process of metastasizing? And if so, what might that mean for us here in the Milky Way? Apart from helping to detail our solar system's past, it may also hold clues regarding the ultimate fate of Hunab-Ku (the Mayan name for our own galactic center).

What if human constituents were to meet again within a far-future quasar? Perhaps then base elements could be elevated beyond their humble mediocrity; carbon coal transmuted to glowing gold!

Are there humans in the far future? What do they look like and would they acknowledge us as their ancestors?

Perhaps they genetically modify themselves on a continual basis

[ If indeed they find it necessary to inhabit physical bodies ]?

Since by then a Grand Unifying Theory will surely have yielded access to non-spatial, astral planes.

Greater than gods ~ Demiurges who refashion the fabric of reality ~ Free from pain yet not torment

Having mastered the transmutation of elements, they'll terraform Mars and Venus

While Mercury and Pluto shall house interstellar observatories along with wormhole 'jump-gates'.

Jupiter's atmosphere might be activated via nuclear fission as Arthur C. Clarke foresaw; materializing Lucifer.

Our second sun could bestow life to Europa's glacial oceans, turning Neptune and Uranus into vacation hot-spots.

Saturnine ~ Seat of superpowers across limitless light years ~ Mining asteroids and rigging scout comets

However, even given such advances our descendants will likely endure despair in isolation.

Searching every neighboring star system but never finding their equals nor superiors;

Exhausting natural resources and spreading themselves too thin.

By then they may start spying on us through time's intransigent veil, trying in vain to tell us:

"Make the most of your little world now, because it holds the only mirth that we here can recall."
