Timeline of the far future
Timeline of the far future
I discovered this Wikipedia entry a week ago. I've been reading it once a day since then. It's extremely fascinating.
Reminds me of the "Timelapse of the Future" video. It's great, and a little sobering.
Ah yes this video again. Time for another existential crisis.
Can feel my existential dread gradually increasing as I keep reading further. Love shit like this.

Something about the extrapolation of events millions of years into the future reminds me greatly of The Last Question by Isaac Asimov (not to mention probably my most favorite Imgur comic about it).
You know, I think it's about time we got this ball rolling.
FaceDeer: ChatGPT, how can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?
ChatGPT: The net amount of entropy in the universe cannot be massively decreased according to our current understanding of the laws of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time. Entropy can be thought of as a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. In a closed system, such as the universe, the total entropy can only remain constant or increase.
While it is possible to reduce entropy in a localized region or system, it always comes at the expense of increasing entropy elsewhere. For example, we can decrease entropy in a living organism by expending energy to maintain order and structure, but in the process, we release heat and increase entropy in the surrounding environment.
The concept of decreasing the net amount of entropy in the entire universe on a massive scale is not supported by our current scientific understanding.
There we go. See you guys at the end of time.
