Are you suggesting someone sprung a leak in the universe and we don't know it yet?Michael Sherwin wrote: ↑September 27th, 2024, 5:16 pm When a highly pressurized balloon is popped it seems to our perception of time to be instantaneous. But what if the balloon was a trillion light years in diameter? How long would it take to pop then. How long would it take until there was no more pressure detectable?

Supposedly, the earth was creating 4.5 billion years ago.Michael Sherwin wrote: ↑September 27th, 2024, 5:16 pm When a highly pressurized balloon is popped it seems to our perception of time to be instantaneous.

I wasted my time doing math on this because you brought it up. If one day were as 1,000 years, and we assume a lifespan of, itself, 1,000 years, we'd get to be 365,000,000 mortal years old. Not even Methuselah on "Kolob time" would see even an eight of the process be completed.The Airbender wrote: ↑October 29th, 2024, 6:01 pmSupposedly, the earth was creating 4.5 billion years ago.Michael Sherwin wrote: ↑September 27th, 2024, 5:16 pm When a highly pressurized balloon is popped it seems to our perception of time to be instantaneous.

Supposedly, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will merge in another 4.5 billion years (or 6 or something)
It's interesting that this world's existence and the merging of two galaxies are both done in like 5 billion years. If we lived forever, if our day was 1000 years, it's like these two galaxies merging is the same as raising this earth, in a way. I don't know why I've become hyper fixated on something that won't happen for 5 billion years, but it seems to me to be important in a way that makes me wonder if 4.5 billion years is something I will actually be around for and live through and understand and enjoy.
I don't think you're missing any mark. Immortality and Eternal Life probably last even longer.Jamescm wrote: ↑November 1st, 2024, 11:16 amI wasted my time doing math on this because you brought it up.

The real fun of it, however, is knowing how clearly I'm missing the mark by trying to take everything at face numerical value.
