    There is no ultimate purpose in a cosmic sense.
    We can define one if we want to, but it will always be subjective to our own opinions.

    Maybe we are an effort of the Universe to save itself from its ultimate fate that it is dying a slow heat death or ending in the terminal maximum entropy?

    The intelligence of life can be determined as its ability to sustain itself. In the same way the intelligence of the universe can be determined as its ability to sustain itself.

    IDK, maybe in billions of years some life form will be able to save the universe?

      Why would that be if in this very second an infinite multitude of new universes are being created each moment, many of which will eventually develop life?
