  1. So in ten quattuorvigintillion years

    100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years

    I’ll be space dust well before then

    Has anyone seen a timelapse of the future by melodysheep on YouTube?

    One of YouTubes required watching, for science curious people, kids.

  3. the difference between 7.5*10^9 (when the sun consumes us) and 10^78 (when the universe decays) is about 10^78.

    What’s that? 10 followed by 68 zeroes? Think I have time to give the house a quick tidy?

  5. Why can’t they just say 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years, for those who want to count down the years.
