    Well that’s depressing. Everything is going to end, and I won’t even be around for the cool stuff.

      Hey, it took 13.7 billion years for the arrangement of your consciousness in the universe. There’s still 1010120 years until the heat death of the universe and there’s always a probability that the arrangement of matter somewhere in the universe will result in you experiencing some kind of consciousness.

    While people might think this is depressing, it gives me a strange sense of comfort knowing nothing will have ever mattered at some point in the future. Do what you want, when you want.

    Fuuuck. Seeing a 400 million year gap between all life on earth definitely going extinct, and the first close passage of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies kind of hurt to read. I always liked to imagine how it would look to people when it happened, and it just… Won’t. It’s a little scary watching the key slowly change into solely astronomical events, and then solely particle physical events as time goes on.
