I imagine endless universes blooming and dying off.

I loved the vision of eternity created in the book and film "What dreams may come," starring Robin Williams in 1994.
I thought the movie's vision of heaven was very cool because it focused on learning and remembering love. It also gave people the choice to define their reality and experience, including gender, appearance, landscapes, and psychological well-being. Williams made his heaven as beautiful as Monet painting to remember his wife, an artist. It was very touching. If there were an afterlife, this is how I would prefer it.
But this is not eternity as we understand it through science. Eternity is much vast and endless than we've ever imagined. The universe will continue to exist long after human beings and intelligent life cease to thrive. And this universe may be one of endless universes with distinct physical laws.
According to Physicists and Scientists like Stephen Hawking, all stars and galaxies will eventually burn out and there will be nothing but the dark, soundless vacuum of eternity for billions of years. Eventually, even black holes will evaporate and protons will be ripped to the core. What comes after that? Who knows...
Life on Earth is a precious blink of an eye compared to the scale of the Cosmos. It is better to value our few, wonderful moments alive than to dream on the hereafter.

eternity is a unit of measurement called time, we don't know what to do with this life much less exploring eternity. Like I have infinite lives, so how do I know I'm not living in eternity now.

Here's an answer that uses a concept unfamiliar to most of the people on this forum: the truth.
Eternity begins when you close your eyes, go to sleep and never wake up again. You remain in this state forever.

Eternity is spending forever with God.
And my life is smaller than a 1000th of a full stop is in relation to the 1000 longest novels written of all time. Maybe smaller, well actually, it is forever, so incomparable!
And yet God loves me all the same...

I view eternity from God's perspective....
Heaven with Christ....
Hell without Him

I view eternity as one hell of a long time! Imagination? ...like getting a hard-on after smoking a good chunk of 'crack'!

Eternity: a VERY long time.
Do you mean life after death? I think our cousciousness rejoins the collective.

Our minds can't fathom the greatness of eternity.
