Abstract: In the context of Bartnik's splitting conjecture, Galloway cite{G} conjectured that for any globally hyperbolic, spatially compact and future timelike geodesically complete manifold $(M,g)$ satisfying the strong energy condition, the future boundary of $(M,g)$ consists of one point. We show that whereas this statement is true in dimension $2$ due to a result by Ehrlich and Galloway cite{EG}, it fails in every higher dimension, and that there are plenty of counterexamples, more precisely: On a manifold of dimension $geq3$, {em every} globally hyperbolic conformal class contains future complete metrics satisfying the strong energy condition.
