There are way too many zeroes in that number.
- petercooper 14y agoFor anyone interested in the various guesses at what the number could actually be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_an_expanding_universe#Timeline http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_an_expanding_universe... That said, it does seem even if we gain a mind-boggling level of energy manipulation, 10^20..10^40 years is a rough expectation for regular matter, as we know it, to continue to exist.
- erre 14y agoTrue, but I think it illustrates his point further: given enough zeroes, it's close enough to infinity that it doesn't matter :)
