Is there any hope for mans continued existance?
Can we possibly get off this planet, out of this galaxy, and eventually out of this universe before the predicted collapse of the whole conglomaration?
Sure. Except for the universe bit. Physically impossible, you know.

Remind me a couple trillion years down the road, and I'll start to worry.

And if we ever got advanced enough to build some kind of ships that could transport us out of this universe into another, the laws of physics, and mathematics that apply here probally wont apply there and we could just remove ourselves from existance like a deleted file
Idle speculation with no support. Everywhere we've seen (and that's a fair amount), the laws of physics have remained constant. There's no reason to suppose anywhere else will be any different.
