    They joke, but last week it was shortened to 10^78. At this rate, we’ve only got about six weeks left.

      Do black holes evaporate trillions of trillions of times faster than expected? Supermassive ones were expected to take around 10^100 years.

                  Consider supermassive black holes. They are the largest entities in the universe and they exist in nearly every galaxy. They aren’t going to get appreciably bigger, if they aren’t big enough to bang, what is?

                  Then by what mechanism do you propose an incredibly deep gravity well could spit out bulk stuff?

                  I’m taking the null hypothesis, you’re the one with a claim to prove

    If the universe collapses back into a singular point, and time slows at the edge of a black hole, then wouldn’t I the end be functionally an infinite time away? 🤔

    Why is there a (presumably AI-generated) Earth on fire for the “end of the universe”, when the Earth would be way gone far sooner than that (that is, in a few billion years when the Sun blows up to a red giant)? It’s pretty misleading in my opinion, as it makes it seem like a doomsday apocalypse kind of scenario.

    The catching on fire doesn’t make sense either, as the end of the universe will likely be very very cold (a heat death, some might say).
