it's ok guys we will get new universes
- arp242 3y agoThat will take 10^10^10^56 years. There are about 10^50 atoms on earth, and about about 10^82 atoms in the observable universe. There aren't nearly enough atoms in the universe to store the number written out in full. 1/10: terrible delivery time.
- ftxbro 3y agoi'm not an expert in inflationary events but i assume they would be outside of our 'light cone' anyway
- arp242 3y agoSo not only will delivery take forever it will also be delivered at the wrong address? Seems like some things will never change...
- kabdib 3y ago... and when it finally arrives, the box will be empty. :-) The universe is a funny mix of the ultimate free lunch and just getting reamed by entropy and expansion. I wish it would make up its mind.
- HyperSane 3y agoeventually the universe becomes so empty that there is nothing that can actually change so time becomes meaningless.
