Yes, I was missing your question. Mainly because I wasn't addressing you. Thanks for the rudeness though. I'll add it to the pile with all the rest. Goodbye and good luck.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Thanks for that !! lol... care to consider why no one has come back from the infinite future and built you a diamond the size of a brick out of seaweed?

I quoted Doctor Who because with our current understanding of physics, anything regarding time travel is useless speculation, and it's better left to science fiction. We don't even know if the future is infinite.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

That's a paradox!


Ok, well that's a given, but let's go 1 million years into the future...

Are you with me? we've found a formula for paradox, and if you replace y with lemon, you can go back and kill your granddad !


Not sure your argument stands up now?!! unless you can convince me otherwise?

Sci-fi is fun...
You can't solve the paradox.

All of this presumes that time is linear and only 'moves' in the manner we are currently able to perceive it. The premise is flawed.

There is no past or future, only now. People have not traveled from the future to our time because they don't exist yet. When they do exist we won't anymore.

HEY YOU TWO. CUT IT OUT!!
Nerd in the room remember. I plan to read many time travel stories in the future and if I won't be able to enjoy them as well as I should if I continue to listen to this and then I'm gonna blame you two.

Nanana I'm not listening .

Some of the time scales for events that can logically be anticipated to occur in the future are staggeringly large.

Evaporating large blackholes (billion solar mass ones) takes a very long time. Currently, all of them in the universe are still growing, and we have to wait a VERY long time for the universe to thin out enough so that the Hawking evaporation process can even start working. And early on in that process, it is REALLY slow about dissipating a REALLY BIG blackhole.

And recall, over this EXTREMELY long period of time, the universe is still expanding very rapidly. This serves to dilute further and further all the stuff in the universe. Volumes of space enormously bigger than our universe is now might contain only a single extremely feeble photon. And the universe will continue to expand enormously past that state.


Something else that takes a very long time is for our suns' (or whatever burned out hulk it becomes) orbit around the center of our galaxy to decay due to gravitational radiation. A REALLY long time.

We don't tend to mingle much. Besides, what exactly do you have to offer?
