Imagine still being alive to witness the slow, agonizing death of the universe, when all matter and energy are evenly spread across an incomprehensible vastness, and nothing will or can ever happen again. The next billion years would be fairly interesting until the sun expands and swallows the Earthโ€ฆor, at least, dries up its oceans. Hopefully, youโ€™ve found a way out and onto another planet for another billion or so years. But after about 170 quattuorvigintillion years of cold, dark, nothingness, youโ€™ll probably get pretty bored of it all.

I was promised eternal life, not consciousness. Thatโ€™s cryosleep conditions right there.

Making a lot of assumptions here that our models are accurate enough to correctly predict the end of the universe - whether itโ€™s a big crunch, big rip, heat death, some clumsy git dropping the marble so it shatters, or something else entirely. I would take eternal life+youth so I could find out.

Once I know everything, then I might get bored.

So far, I think the general consensus is heat death. Being an optimist, my hope is for the big crunch. If that oneโ€™s true, whatโ€™d be infinitely hilarious is if it always repeats in exactly the same way.

If thatโ€™s the case, then I guess all of us do truly live forever. We just microdose the same exact snippet of eternity.

So much of what exists is spheres and circles. Whoโ€™s to say time doesnโ€™t also run in a circle?

Like the song goes,

Consensus is not a fact-based exercise

;D

I donโ€™t think very many people, if any, want to be unable to die forever. Most people just want more time.

Imagine becoming immortal at the dawn of the age of science. then spending the next 8000 years secretly building a ship in your free time to take you off this godforsaken planet.

only to find that:

a) youโ€™re not the only one

b) youโ€™re not even human
