The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 1078 years to perish. That is much shorter than the previously postulated 101100 years.

        I think I’m getting close to finishing Outer Wilds. Please hold off until I’ve completed that game. Also Half Life 3.

          I’m playing this too, and I’m not sure how close I am to finishing it. It feels like the progress gets slower the longer you play and I don’t have any obvious options open anymore. I guess I have to visit some places again and see if I missed something.

    these estimates are going to change a billions of times and humans are probably not going to be there for the most of it.

    Because the researchers were at it anyway, they also calculated how long it takes for the moon and a human to evaporate via Hawking-like radiation. That’s 10^90 years.
