And remember: The universe will end, but not for a while… probably
I don’t want to alarm you, but the world is going to end. All of this. Gone. And scientists are certain all of this will happen. On the bright side this isn’t going to happen for 4-5 billion years. It makes me wonder: In a universe bigger than we can fathom, across eons of time, could… all of it end? Everything? The whole universe? Yes. And it probably will. Here’s how.
Note: The copy of "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)" discussed in this episode was provided free of charge by the publisher. As in "the physical copy you see on screen." I also bought the book myself because I love astrophysics! But that version is on my Kindle :)

    It's not exactly happening next week, and other phenomena will get us LONG before the sun belches, like HUMONGOUS species ending impactors, unless we obtain the means to detect and deflect something six miles in diameter or larger. They don't come every day, but they often do within a sixty million year cycle. My guess is the human race will wipe itself from the face of the galaxy LONG before that eventuality.

    Vacuum decay wouldn't destroy the entire universe, since it only travels at the speed of light, and dark energy is pushing space between galaxies faster than the speed of light. So if a segment of the universe starts vacuum decay then it would only affect the local area of the universe around that point, and shouldn't permeate throughout the entire universe. IMO

    Aloha. I thought this channel's comment-section/s, if any place, would have smarteristic and smarttastic people. So i wanted to ask your opinion of a Project of mine, trying to help youtube help itself - getting it to become less of what can only be described as 'Messy' without wanting to use hard swearing... P0rn, Racism, Sexism, Scam, Spam-Bots, P0rn-Spam-Bots and much more. Oh, and of course the new Kid in Town: The Covid-Denier/Mask-Hater. All of them are non-subtle (some more than others) and therefore easy to find. I used the reportbutton as it was originally intended; not as Cancel-Culture but to help. Just this week, i got 1 Covid-Denier-Channel (yes, the entire thing, not just 1 video) and 2 Open Racists (Users, not KZreadrs) removed. And this feels good. No, its not a 'Wonder-Miracle-Solution!!', but who needs that? Do you need that? Yet, i feel confident about this enough to ask: Wanna join the Fun? The helping? Both?

    1) So we exist inside the simulation? We are just programs running? Then what does that simulation run inside of? Who created it? 2) I don't know what that is 3) If someone does that, time never existed. So we never experienced any of that. Unless that's assuming all time happens parallel to itself, like a billionth of a second from now and a million years from now are running at the same time, and when time is destroyed, all of the time that each version of ourselves experienced still happened, and ceased to exist.

    Hi, you don't know me but if you're reading this and have some time to spare, it would be a great help to an existential question that I've been facing for a long time. I think I see a "Great Filter" in front of us in the form of "Reward Death". To understand what I mean by 'Reward Death', we will have to understand the relation between consciousness and reward. Now, for the sake of simplicity, we will divide the human experience into two parts.One deals with the mental capacity of performing actions and the other deals with reward( say reptilian brain. ) One can easily self reflect to realise that all his actions and thoughts are either to propel himself towards more reward positive future or away from some reward negative experience or possibility. This method of reward worked pretty good for all conscious beings that evolution has produced so far. Now, by observing the exponential nature of the increment of adaptability ( or problem solving capacity ) of the living system, that we are a part of. One can easily entertain the possibility of so called “Singularity by ASI”. Assuming you have solved the ‘Alignment Problem’, i.e. you can command it as per you desire. As soon as you get your hands on the device, a very interesting thing will happen and the device will act as a ‘reward hack’. As the basic nature of brain is to shoot for the most reward positive future and avoid any reward negative. Your conscious feeling will have a very little disturbed trajectory towards more and more reward positive state. The more reward positive you feel the more reward positive you want to feel. Eventually leading to reward induced coma like state that is ‘reward death’. This reward death will not be much different than overdosing of opium, cocaine, or any other reward hacking drug. One might think now that he is aware of the fact. He will choose not to go in that direction just like one knows the happiness associated with drugs and yet choose not to take them. But your body don’t feel a natural desire to consume drug thus providing you with a choice. This is not the same case with your natural desires for example SEX. The more sexually aroused you are the more sexually aroused you want to feel and when you hit orgasm your brain breaks the cycle and you return to normal again At the point of organism if you are provided with a choice not to break the cycle.. You will choose to prolong it a little more and then a little more and then a little more... In the condition 'Reward death' your brain will stop the process of thinking and if somebody successfully force out of it you will I want to fall back in it with a urge worst then any addiction case we have faced so far.

Who knows what wonderful, but (to us) incomprehensible things are happening right now in other parts of the universe? The universe may or may not be chock full of other species of living creatures that may or may not come into contact with us one day, we absolutely don't know everything there is to know about our universe, we may be barely scratching the surface with the knowledge we already have.
