No:
* I do not see the passage of time doubling every 5 seconds.
* I also don’t declare a time scale, and then take time out for a music video that would be hundreds or thousands of years long while I space out to sound bites.
* From a human perspective, think the next several years may be particularly crucial to what happens to us and the other species we are familiar with. The best information from the smartest people points to there being several perilous crises, including the climate change crisis, the extinction crisis, critical habitat losses, and various social and political issues which could lead to very bleak times and/or our extinction.
* I think the sun changing phase is so far off that it really isn’t worth thinking about much unless you’re thinking about long-term astrophysics. Our star fading to darkness is ridiculously further off than that.
* The whole universe having all stars fade away is thought to be almost incomprehensibly farther in the future than our one star. It wants a word astronomically vaster than astronomical to express how distant and irrelevant that concern is, and I don’t think we really know what’s going on in the universe as a whole, or with other cosmological questions, to be concerned about that even if it is correct.
* The whole dwelling on “there will be no more new stars created”.
* At “300 MILLION TRILLION YEARS”, they say, “gravity ejects dead stars are planets from their galaxies” . . . huh? I have no idea why they would say that, and am slightly curious if they have any reason for saying that, but even the magnitude of that time span underestimates the irrelevance of that concern.
* So no, when I think about the world as we know it, I never dramatize theoretical events like this unless I’m inventing some fantasy cosmology.
* Neutron star collisions? I thought stars were supposed to be scattering, now they’re colliding? Just because of the silly doubling clock making it seem to happen more often?
* LOL! “At 96 BILLION TRILLION YEARS”, they have “any surviving life forms may find refuge around aging white dwarfs”? Huh? Ok, I don’t know that this deserves the energy to ask questions about what they mean.
* Then around “2 TRILLION TRILLION YEARS”, they have a giant space gyroscope art thing?
* The real sense of dread I’m getting, is that it’s only 7 minutes into this video, and there are about three times as many minutes left!
* So at 10 thousand trillion trillion years, they’ve got entire galaxies falling into their central black holes? Is there some force of friction causing this, or something? Are they just expecting it due to how ridiculously fast the clock is advancing, due to random chance and a faith there will be no eternally stable orbits?
* And what’s this about long-dormant black holes “flaring up”?
* Oh, and now at a million trillion trillion years, we think we’ve still got “exotic future civilizations”? Wow, and here this guy is thinking he knows all about the universe and future alien civilizations that will last for an utterly unimaginable amount of time. Wow . . . is he going for a new level of hubris?
I mean, we’ve had what? 500 years or so of relevant thinking, and we’re pretty sure no being anywhere is going to have a better understanding of the universe or of physics, so this guy assumes he knows all about the future of the universe, and that alien civilizations so old I’m not even going to try to type the number of zeros in how old they are, are certainly going to be grubbing for energy from black hole rotation, because yep, this guy knows everything that will ever be known, right?
* Oh no, now we’re sure we know all about expansion of spacetime, and are saying it’s going to keep accelerating to beyond the speed of light? Ok, original question answer: Nope, definitely not how I see things.
* Wow, now were going for sad drama about protons disintegrating like popped balloons.
* LOL Zombie galaxies . . .
* Then dancing black holes, sending out drum waves “literally in the fabric of space-time” at the speed of light . . . uh, but I thought they claimed long before this that the universe was expanding at an every greater pace, that long long (etc) before this was faster than light, so nothing could see anything else. No? This seems like a rather large contradiction, no?
* Ok, so at about 10 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years, the narrator FINALLY admits people don’t really understand dark matter or universe expansion. Why this doesn’t stop them from sounding so confident in this video, one can only guess.
* Baby universes, sigh… usually I’m in favor of imagination, but how about if you people are so smart, you figure out a way to deal with the actual current existential crises?
* Survival of the fittest of universes now? Ok, I think I’m convinced these people are just trying to avoid thinking about humanity’s impending doom at its own industrial excesses.
