Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the changes that have occurred over the last year in the author’s cosmological picture of the world. As before, the author starts from the hypothesis of fractal Universe. From this follows that since the density of such a Universe is equal to zero, Universe, as a whole, can- not either expand or contract. In the previous works, the author did not realize that in the framework of the accepted hypothesis (of the fractal Universe) the processes of contraction of metagalaxies (and other cosmic macro-systems) cannot prevail over the processes of their expansion and the other way around in. And therefore, the Universe, as a whole, cannot evolve. The evolution (in the “progressive” direction) could occur only in metagalaxies taken separately on the stage of their expansion. At the stage of contraction, the results of local evolutions, including advanced forms of life, are always destroyed. As a consequence, any form of life arising in metagalaxies is unavoidably local, both — in time and space.Wherever any form of life has appeared, it is doomed to destruction in the process of contraction of metagalaxies. The locality of hotbeds of life in the fractal Universe is aggravated by impossibility for residents of different metagalaxies to contact because the distances between them are much larger than the metagalaxy sizes (all fractals are arranged in such a way). So a signal propagates between nearest metagalaxies during the time that is much larger than the duration of their gravitational cycles of expansion and contraction.
