RE: Why The Universe Is Destined To Be A Lonely Place
In about 5 billion years our Sun will expand and consume the Earth.
So maybe it's best not to think about it to much ☺
Will there be any humans alive in a million years to be lonely? I doubt it.
U+R
I was not talking about the million years time frame from a human perspective, but from any intelligent living being that would be alive at that point.
I doubt that there will be any intelligent life form to witness anything in the far flung future. As you mentioned.
This assumes that someone will survive...no?
If this galaxy that they witness is all they can observe then of course they will have to come to the wrong conclusion. They have no way of knowing of things beyond their comprehension.
Interesting thought experiment though.
Not necessarily. Hundreds of millions of years is a huge time frame. I think it is possible that civilisations can start and end within a certain period of time. So, we can assume that some civilisation could sprout up a hundred million years from now or at any point in the future.
Anything is possible for sure.
