The Ea are probably the most advanced race in the whole universe when it comes to knowledge, atleast at this point. Having dedicated their whole being, meaning and existence into this singular striving only to have this crumbling revelation about the universe.. would be quite the disaster for them as a whole to say the least. Who knows what else besides the "casual" immortality have they uncovered. All would be a matter of dust in their eyes. Cant really apply human terms to them.
