I'm sorry, but you're incorrect. To imagine the worst case scenario imagine a picture of the milky-way labeled t=0, and another picture of the milky-way labeled t=10y with a great void 10 lightyears in radius centered on where the earth used to be.

Every atom of the earth, every complex structure in the solar system, every star in the milky-way, every galaxy within the earth's current light cone taken and used to create a monument that will never be appreciated by anything except for the singular alien intelligence that built it to itself. The last thinking thing in the reachable universe.

That's awesome, have you ever read Peter Watts' Echopraxia? I read the synopsis and keep meaning to get a copy. Same with Greg Egan's Diaspora.
