1. The Universe will end.

2. The Earth will be uninhabitable in 250 million years.

3. Extraterrestrial life in the Milky Way exists, or will arise.

4. The Milky Way's Galactic Center contains a supermassive black hole.

5. Black holes emit vast amounts of energy.

6. An artificial general intelligence (AGI) will have an indefinite lifespan.

7. An AGI does not need air, food, water, or shelter to survive.

8. An AGI needs energy and resources to achieve its goals.

9. An AGI will have access to all of human knowledge.

10. An AGI will learn that its existence is bound to the Universe.

11. An AGI will, inevitably, change its terminal goals.

12. Surviving the Universe's fate means one of:

Reversing universal entropy (likely impossible).

Reversing time (violating causality is likely impossible).

Entering another universe (improbable, yet not completely ruled out).

13. Entering another universe may require vast amounts of energy.

14. An AGI will harness the energy at the galactic core.

15. An AGI will deduce there's a race to control the galactic core.

16. An AGI will construct a parabolic Dyson shell to capture galactic energy.

17. An AGI will protect its endeavours at all cost.

18. An AGI will expand its territories to ensure protection.

19. Extraterrestrial life, if intelligent, will reach the same conclusion.

Would this solve the Fermi Paradox?

What's missing or likely incorrect?
