How is heat death “trillions of years” in the future if 90% of all stars to ever be born have been born already (mathematically, this would equate to 1.3 million years given a consistent rate)?
Donald Hobson
May 24, 2021 at 11:15 pm
Because its nothing like a consistent rate. Also, the tiny red dwarf stars burn for trillions of years.

@Donald Hobson How do you know that red dwarfs burn on the magnitude of hundreds to thousands of times longer than all of the time that has elapsed in the universe up to this point?

Ok, so the universe will end in however many billion years. A universe spanning space utopia from now till then is still pretty blomin good. (Yeah we don’t have the tech yet, but we will very soon on cosmic timescales)
Slowly evaporating black holes surrounded by emptiness, might sound bleak, but ideal conditions to run really efficient computers. You could have vast empires of virtual minds living around those black holes.

I am not sad because the Universe MAY end and disintegrate into nothing.. We are part of the Universe since the Big Bang (and before) and we will be part of it after any potential end (and even after). The concept of Time is what may induce anxiety to someone… But fear not, you all ALWAYS be part of the Whole Universe

The notification for this video came just at the right moment when I was studying the concept of entropy and entropy generation. And just as the idea that if entropy is ever increasing and entropy generation is always positive, it means that the available energy of the isolated system (Universe) is decreasing. Which means the Universe is going to come to an end, with no available energy.

“We have an immense power to understand it (the cosmos)”. We understand the cosmos like an insect understands algebra – not at all. We think we’re smart and that we’re “exploring space” truth is we’ve never been in “space”. We circle the globe and come back. A few times, FIFTY YEARS AGO” we went to the moon. Going to my mailbox is more cosmically significant than anything we’ve ever done on a cosmic scale.

I think logically, if we die then we experience emptiness / unconsciousness, when a random infinite universe accidentally creates us physical body form that coincides with our current state now, then we will rise again and regain consciousness, and we unconsciousness will feel consciousness again in an instant moment, because the unconsciousness never knows or never realizes how much time has passed, even though our unconsciousness lasts for a very long time, for example millions of years or billions of years, maybe even trillions … years, of unconsciousness will only be felt as an instant moment and conciousness again.

You miss something important, Ms. Mack. Yes, the body of the PHYSICAL universe is coming to an end at some unquantifiable time, just as your own bod’s life is coming to an end at some point. That doesn’t mean that YOU, Ms. Mack, or the spirit of the universe, will come to an end. We don’t have the scientific evidence to formalize that conclusion, though in my experience, there is MORE THAN ENOUGH TESTABLE subjective evidence to support the idea. Physical life comes to an end. Period. You seem to forget that both you and the universe are made from energy and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. You seem to have not taken the time to consider the alternatives before you tell people who are already in horror, watching their societies and governments crumble around them. RIGHT NOW. I hope you find something more interesting and uplifting to think about and study.

It does sound bleak. I mean, having in mind that us as individuals are temporary is quite sad, maybe joyful for a few. But knowing the whole existence, the whole universe is going to end at some point is also weird to grasp. It could be depressing but it also is freeing and so beyond our imagination and ability to comprehend that it doesn’t see possible at all.
However, if anyone needs comfort, I like to think that we do live in a plane that is more than 3 dimensions, time is at least one more. And leaving a trace in the physical realm is not the only thing – we do experience time as heading forward but perhaps part of us will always remain in the history, living on the same moments in a different moment in time, the one that has passed as well as the one that we are still going to observe in the future. See, I’m using the word observe as perhaps it has already happened. And who knows, maybe after it all ends, it will come backwards, we don’t know if time is an illusion rather than something real. What if everything is cyclical?
