redshift never stops and they red shift and red shift and red shift and red shift until they are 'gone'

I figured I would stop around the 100 trillion year mark
 
One thing I find oddly reassuring is that the most abundant stars in the universe, red dwarfs,  can have lifespans in the trillions of years due to their slow use of nuclear fuel.  You can almost imagine some advanced civilization building a dyson sphere or ringworld around one and being able to survive a very long time.

And that civilization is us, and it starts with the current generation.

The computed time to evaporate a 1 solar mass black hole is:


20980000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years

Did someone say earlier that some black holes could become as big as galaxies, or were they talking about the ones at the centers of galaxies? I'm confused.

And why do you know so much about this stuff?

It's fascinating.

I'm also a co-discoverer of an astronomical object:

(IANMTU)

An otherwise obscure ice ball in the Kuiper Belt.

Ya think?

The big bounce



usually leads to a big enough bang.

The ways people react to the change in the rules is pretty fascinating, psychologically speaking.
