You won't get any time off though, and will still have to go into work.

“So the ultimate end of the universe comes much sooner than expected, but fortunately it still takes a very long time,”

I still think we should destroy it. We basically have to options here:

The universe decays and turns into huge, cold void that can't support any life an last forever
We destroy it and hope that new universe will be created out of nothing again

Option 1 is certain death. With option 2 there's at least some hope for a new beginning.

Of course we don't have a way to destroy the universe yet but we have 10^78 years to figure it out. Once we have the means to start some chain reaction that rips space time itself and destroys the entire universe we should do it.

Quite frankly given enough time I'm confident we could do pretty much anything. I mean look at us, with our blackboards, our theories, our banging two rocks against each other.

Ragnarok is going to sort all this shit out.

I doubt anything is permanent, death included.

Thinking like this is what ensures that the most powerful beings in the universe will never let us evolve past monkeys on skateboards.

You really think the most powerful beings in the universe decide the fate of humanity based on my lemmy comments? Thanks. For a moment there I thought no one cares what I think.
