The answer of our beginning, and our end, carries no weight or meaning whatsoever.
Whoever said this couldn't be more wrong. Those answers carry all of the weight. Sure, figuring out all the stuff in between is where the fun is but in the end, when we face our demise, what other questions really carry any weight at all?
What I want to know is whether or not you care how the world ends?
Certainly I would like to know just as a matter of interest. I mean what else do you have going on that is more important than the end of the world? Especially if it is going to end...tomorrow. Even if it is a couple billion yrs out when our sun swells up a bit why wouldn't you want to know? I am comforted by the knowledge that the sun has a bit of gas left in her.
Of course there is considerable doubt about how far out we can really see. So knowing how the universe might ultimately end really won't matter if we get smoked by an asteroid or boil over while we're not paying attention.
I don't really have a preference as that seems a little presumptious. I imagine that it would be pretty cool to look back on 100 billion yrs of recorded history and achievement. Evolving into some ethereal being that really had the option of lasting forever.
