History would be summarized in large sections. Our current history will fit one one page and be taught the same way how we teach the existence of cavemen to young children. There's a sci-fi series that is really cool called the Saga of the Seven suns. One of the races, the Ildirans, have a history of over a million years. They have people who spend their career and life studying their history, but the rest of the population just gets the soap notes version.
This is without doubt, my favourite channel! I'm just an old Lady, high school drop out, yet this is explained so enchantingly and in the most understandable way! Thank you young man for this wonderful information! You're exceptional!👍👵🇦🇺
I am so addicted to this story telling brilliance, that I keep on listening to him, even after knowing that almost all the info I get will not be of any use to me in any way, anytime.
I've always found it interesting that sci-fi writers usually only go, at most, a few hundred years into the future. None that I know of has gone as far as Wells did for The Time Machine, which went to the year 800,000. I think people, even the most imaginative, find it impossible to imagine that far ahead in time. I've always had a special appreciation for Wells, being willing to go so far ahead and imagine a world so incredibly different than today's.
You know, thats a great point. Dont think ive ever heard of a good sci fi go more then hundreds of yrs. Well...except all tommorows but i dunno how to classify that one. It goes through millenias but reads more like a fiction history book or biography rather then a sci fi story. I mean, we have trouble relating to things that are decades or even yrs apart nevermind thousands of years. There would be no familiarity or grounding in our reality that it would be a jarring read. Unless a really good writer somehow manages to integrate far future with familiarity somehow and have it be both beliable enough and interesting.
@@desperado3236 I often wonder what humans will be like if we stay around as long as the dinosaurs did before they went extinct. Can you imagine humans like, 10 million years from now???

I watch these videos daily, and I usually scroll through the list looking for the ones that sound interesting to me and skipping the ones that don't ... and yes a few don't. But, I've found that the ones that I had previously skipped because "I already know about that", or "that doesn't interest me in the slightest", turn out to be some of the best ones I've seen!

I've always thought about this ever since I was little and it always bothered that everyone is like"lol who cares, we wont see it" It makes me so happy to see a video that is optimistic for once and saying our species has a scientific chance at eternity
its hard to wrap your head around how at one point everything could just be gone- like theres nothing. i dont know. some people find it comforting but i find it terrifying
The only time I find it comforting is when there's some kind of dilemma I'm facing, I just start thinking "ehh whatever, the world will end anyway" so I just relax. On the other hand however, when I think "why even try, what's the point if all is gonna end" I just think about making the most with my loved ones, kinda like a "here for a good time, not a long time" kinda thing ya know.

Great Video, i have pondered this concept many times over my life. When i was young, i was certain humanity would live far beyond our solar system...but as I grew older, and saw humanity for what it really is... i stopped believing we will live another 100 years let alone millions. As one of the best movies from the 90s poignantly put it: John Connor - "We aren't going to make it are we...people i mean.." T101 - " It's in your nature to destroy yourselves. " Fictional or not..truer words have never been said lol!
There's a reason for this. There's a longstanding theory that in order to properly get enough energy to do things such as terraforming/etc you must first control the planet. This is impossible at this rate-the world would have to come under one continuous Government. Efforts towards this have seemingly been made with organizations attempting to guide Governments like NATO and the U.N., but as of yet, nothing even close to a worldwide Government is possible. If this is impossible than it is unlikely for a single nation to be able to gather resources enough to escape the planet before we run out of Oil (50 years) natural gas (~47 years) and technologies that would get around this are still pretty far in the making.
it's so cool to think we as a species could evolve to the point of space hopping planets and outliving our solar system. i know it's 5 billion years away, but imagining all the planets, the sun, earth.. everything just being gone is kinda sad 😭 why am i feeling nostalgic
Your videos about space and the universe are simply brilliant! Your work on these topics is what convinced me to become a subscriber. Keep up the great work man!
If you really think about it, our brain capacity would evolve much more by then and we'll probably be able to store much more information that now. Maybe it wouldn't be THAT difficult
@@alexandra_m07 There's no evolutionary need to have the ability to remember that much information, so I doubt it, and kinda pointless too, at some point history would become data stored in the internet
With a bit of luck, and if we can overcome our own flaws (I'm optimistic we eventually will), yes. Maybe we could even master total control of reality and bend physics' laws completely, to the point we would be able to reverse entropy, avoid vacuum decay of the space, and be impossible to go extinct. We would live forever and become like gods if we reach that point. There is plenty of time to do so. I also highly recommend RUclips channel Isaac Arthur, for more about these topics.
melodysheep did a great 30 minute time laps to the end of the future. they doubled the speed every 5 seconds and the number of years past goes of the scale fast. suprisingly the part we live in is incredible small compared to what's to come, even the time scale isn't making sence anymore when you talk universe because we are so small and finite...
Doubling is very powerful. Each bit in a binary number represents double the quantity of the next. 8-bit binary numbers aren't much use on their own. You can't use an 8-bit number to give the size of an apple in millimeters. Keep doubling and things get interesting. Working out what numbers I might need for a space simulation game, I found 64 bits -- 48 doublings past 8 bits -- is enough to measure out the entire span of Pluto's orbit with room to spare at 1 micrometer resolution. 128 bits -- 64 more doublings -- is enough to span the local group of galaxies to 0.3 attometer resolution!
@@eekee6034 try and figure out of fast it's going after 30 minutes, or go watch that clip. you're looking at insane numbers counting faster then you can watch, i'm talking about numbers with 84 zero's level insane
I love this kind of stuff. In Arthur C. Clarke's novella "The Songs of Distant Earth" there's a passing mention about the technology they harness to accomplish interstellar travel, that in ambiguous terms basically manipulates quantum fields, maybe being necessary to restart the universe far in the future. It's a very small part that really doesn't have much to do with the plot, but I've always loved how thought-provoking that one or two sentence line is.
Could humans survive until the end of this century? Of course, we could pack all of the advertising executives, used car salesmen and telephone sanitisers into a ‘B’ ark and send them off to colonise some other planet.
But if we did that, then we would all die in a pandemic, originating from an unsanitised telephone booth. Mind you, we would have to reinvent telephone booths…
I truly enjoy this uplifting information! It gives more meaning to the most likely issue that we will more than likely blow ourselves up long before we will need to move off of earth. Sad. BUT, it’s ok, as I’m still planning on a dimensional rift to slip through and live with my other self. And maybe the two of us, slip again into a third, and on and on. Just the amount of fun we could have is so worth the effort! Screw moving, I’m just slipping away. Or, “gracefully bowing out”. So much easier!

Small bit about red dwarfs: the main reason for their longevity is that they're fully convective unlike larger stars which can't cycle in fresh hydrogen to their cores from the rest of the star.
@James Henry Smith 200 years? I beg to differ. "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." -Matthew 24:36 God's alarm clock is set to his time, not ours. So you might as well learn about the convectivity of red dwarves.
If we were to successfully spread out across different planets.. isolation would lead to acquiring many different traits and each human colony would become the very aliens we’re looking for.
It’s so strange living in a society where everyone wastes all the time and resources. We should all be working together to get off this planet, and using all of our resources to do so. Instead 99% of us are spending most of our time on the planet making 1% enjoy life to their hearts content. Brilliant
It seems pretty foolish to dump all resources into fleeing an event that as far away as the first multicellular life. Plus we could relatively easily delay the heating of earth by putting up large shades to reflect away sun light. Or move earth farther away from the sun. Or star lift mass from the sun extending it's life by reducing it's gravity and slowing fusion. And as an added bonus obtain fuel for fusion if we ever figure it out. And 1 more thing. The 1 percent of the one percent are the ones working on making it possible to get off the plant. Space x, Virgin, and origin.
@@I.C.Weiner understandable, BUT.. sooner or later humanity will end by something foolish, 2 of our biggest threat now is an asteroid, one might hit within the next 100 btw, or we go nuclear, if we have another home somewhere in space we double our chances by so much for survival, these next 100 years with how things are going…. We not gonna make it. We should defiantly get together and focus what’s out there and try to study or built a home somewhere. We’re never reaching any types of civilizations, we’re currently at type 0, NOT EVEN TYPE 1!!!! .. we need at least type 3 to explore out there. It’s impossible for us, world leaders are selfish….greed is everywhere, Just to remind y’all we got everything (resources , the time), ect…) but we’re not working together we can do so much together and get out there but that won’t happen any time soon. And by then it’ll be too late. WERE DOOM Within the next hundred years..
We are currently the only living organism that is in the know of our earth's inevitable demise as history has shown across the galaxies... does anyone else find this interesting?
We may be nature’s answer to the question of „how can life spread to other planets“. But we are still on baby steps to give life a bigger chance to prevail and may not achieve it.
@@davidgantenbein9362 I imagine becoming a multiplanetary species would require an obscene amount of selflessness which is something that the past and current has unfortunately shown, we are not capable of.
We all know it - I mean ALL Life - some understand and acknowledge this , as our generational ship carrys on . Others will not awaken until it is to late . Many years ago in the BIE - before internet era - our present situation became known , though not in detail . Bits of that have come to fruition since , each incident , wakening a few more of us , to engage without true heritage , and start the cooperation now , forget about the bloody profits etc . Just awaken sufficiently , to start one's own journey towards a cooperative , compassionate future , where no one , is of no value .
I think we could, yes at that point we would look nothing like humans because of our bodies would change over trillions of years, but we definitely could survive that long if we really have to.
Someone download all his videos, put them on a harddisk, in an EMP safe container, and bury it 12 feet down in a non earthquake prone area. EDIT: Put it on an LP too. And a wax scroll
I'll be surprised if I made it past my 30's, let alone if humanity ever leaves this planet (note: the moon doesn't count). In my opinion, we never will. We'll just cause our own extinction. Now, in my opinion, I'd love if humanity could stop begin petty long enough to find solutions to Earth's eventual demise, so we can find other places to live. It would be nice if we start by learning how to treat Earth better. Even if we do learn that though, eventually, the end of the world will legitimately arrive.
ye but if most knowledge is lost, and those people are all stupid af its pretty unlikely…. on the other hand, if there are only smart scientists etc, humanity could go so much higher and greater than ever before
Reassuring, but also terrifying. It brings me comfort to know Humans could potentially live many trillions maybe even quintillions of years, but ultimately we would all have to die eventually.
Well we dont actually know 100% for sure however based on a number of facts about that star, we can guesstimate and come pretty close to the real number. Most ppl dont know but with things like this, there is also a margin of error. This can vary greatly depending on our knowledge at the time but eventually, with better techniques comes more accuracy.
I just realised that there's literally no reason to set up a base on Mars or anything, it's literally uninhabitable. Our earth is where they should focus their money and efforts for, they want a place to colonize when we already have a perfect earth
I love space sm. but icl I know the numbers are big, but it still scares me and makes me feel weird knowing that our universe will eventually just be nothing
"Teenage years" cant be more true. You totally should make a video "what if the whole world unites"... one passport, one currency, one law, one everything. I think it is a pretty good start to help taim the greedy/angry teeagers.
@Cannabis Dreams ya, which I why I believe we should sacrifice the weak to perfect our blood magic, if you can’t join the laws of thermodynamics, avoid them with blood magic.
Well modern humanity is around 300,000 years old. Since Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago, countless species came and went despite some being around for millions of years. And by our reckoning, this planet has another 4 billion more years before its certain demise, so… yeah, not looking too good for us either way.
As you state in your video a lot depends on humankind's ability to colonize other solar systems. Short of that, I doubt mankind will last as long as the dinosaurs did.
@@SlapstickGenius23 not surprising, but terrifying. Imagine, I am in Moscow, Russia. We might loose any connections with the world soon. We are being cut off against our will.
About 11:00: In order to imagine large numbers like Millions, billions and trillions, you should use visualize it with volumes instead of time, since it's easier by the third root: To make a cube 1000 times lager, you only must increase the length of it's edges by a factor of 10. You can imagine and even easily see a cube of 1mm³, and you easily can see a cube of 1m³ which contains a billion of the smaller cubes. A trillion of them would fit into a cube of 10m×10m×10m.
For anyone wondering why smaller stars age slower, imma nerd for a bit. The way a star uses its fuel is by fusing hydrogen in its core. Bigger stars have bigger cores they can fuse, and therefore use up, exponentially more hydrogen the bigger they are. This is why the smallest stars can last up to 20 trillion years.
Imagine how long history classes would be if we made it 1 billion years or more into the future.
damn man, nice thought
By that time, school would probably just consist of you uploading history and other info directly onto your brain or stuff like that
History would be summarized in large sections. Our current history will fit one one page and be taught the same way how we teach the existence of cavemen to young children.

Maybe we could even master total control of reality and bend physics' laws completely, to the point we would be able to reverse entropy, avoid vacuum decay of the space, and be impossible to go extinct. We would live forever and become like gods if we reach that point. There is plenty of time to do so.
I also highly recommend RUclips channel Isaac Arthur, for more about these topics.
"Any bullshit the sun sends our way" is the funniest sentence I have heard in a long time. This is why I love your videos
Maybe he was referring to The S*n trashpaper...arbiter of garbage and mindless drivel....
melodysheep did a great 30 minute time laps to the end of the future. they doubled the speed every 5 seconds and the number of years past goes of the scale fast. suprisingly the part we live in is incredible small compared to what's to come, even the time scale isn't making sence anymore when you talk universe because we are so small and finite...
Doubling is very powerful. Each bit in a binary number represents double the quantity of the next. 8-bit binary numbers aren't much use on their own. You can't use an 8-bit number to give the size of an apple in millimeters. Keep doubling and things get interesting. Working out what numbers I might need for a space simulation game, I found 64 bits -- 48 doublings past 8 bits -- is enough to measure out the entire span of Pluto's orbit with room to spare at 1 micrometer resolution. 128 bits -- 64 more doublings -- is enough to span the local group of galaxies to 0.3 attometer resolution!
@@eekee6034 try and figure out of fast it's going after 30 minutes, or go watch that clip.
you're looking at insane numbers counting faster then you can watch, i'm talking about numbers with 84 zero's level insane
Great video!
I love this kind of stuff. In Arthur C. Clarke's novella "The Songs of Distant Earth" there's a passing mention about the technology they harness to accomplish interstellar travel, that in ambiguous terms basically manipulates quantum fields, maybe being necessary to restart the universe far in the future. It's a very small part that really doesn't have much to do with the plot, but I've always loved how thought-provoking that one or two sentence line is.

I like when you do episodes you’ve done the topic before … it only shows how your content has only improved… been a fan since the beginning
Could humans survive until the end of this century?
Of course, we could pack all of the advertising executives, used car salesmen and telephone sanitisers into a ‘B’ ark and send them off to colonise some other planet.
Don't forget the politicians and bankers .
Our civilization can't function without them
But if we did that, then we would all die in a pandemic, originating from an unsanitised telephone booth. Mind you, we would have to reinvent telephone booths…
@@Wolf359inc but if all the telephone booth manufacturers are on the other world...
42.
I'm feeling so much more positive. Thanks for the video and thanks for sharing👍🇿🇦
I truly enjoy this uplifting information! It gives more meaning to the most likely issue that we will more than likely blow ourselves up long before we will need to move off of earth. Sad. BUT, it’s ok, as I’m still planning on a dimensional rift to slip through and live with my other self. And maybe the two of us, slip again into a third, and on and on. Just the amount of fun we could have is so worth the effort! Screw moving, I’m just slipping away. Or, “gracefully bowing out”. So much easier!

Small bit about red dwarfs: the main reason for their longevity is that they're fully convective unlike larger stars which can't cycle in fresh hydrogen to their cores from the rest of the star.
Boys from the Dwarf !
@@paulwoodford6229 Well screw down my diodes and call me Frank, I think we've found another smeeegheeead! 🤣
@James Henry Smith 200 years? I beg to differ.
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." -Matthew 24:36
God's alarm clock is set to his time, not ours.
So you might as well learn about the convectivity of red dwarves.
If we were to successfully spread out across different planets.. isolation would lead to acquiring many different traits and each human colony would become the very aliens we’re looking for.
Maybe but that’s kind of like being a white person and saying black people are aliens 😭
That was one of if not the best space video I’ve seen in years. Sent me into a few existential epiphanies, and the animations are amazing.
You are the only one I have so far seen to reach prospect of this magnitude on The INternet And EverYwhere Beyond. Congrats.
I came into this thinking it would explain nuclear war and how to survive the aftermath
instead I got existential dread :)
Surviving past the end of 2022 would be a good start
Hey, we did it!
@@Lextacy06 and then some
It’s so strange living in a society where everyone wastes all the time and resources. We should all be working together to get off this planet, and using all of our resources to do so. Instead 99% of us are spending most of our time on the planet making 1% enjoy life to their hearts content. Brilliant
So what are you doing?
We can't even use the resources of our own planet wisely, let alone colonize other planets.
It seems pretty foolish to dump all resources into fleeing an event that as far away as the first multicellular life.
Plus we could relatively easily delay the heating of earth by putting up large shades to reflect away sun light.
Or move earth farther away from the sun.
Or star lift mass from the sun extending it's life by reducing it's gravity and slowing fusion. And as an added bonus obtain fuel for fusion if we ever figure it out.
And 1 more thing. The 1 percent of the one percent are the ones working on making it possible to get off the plant.
Space x, Virgin, and origin.
@@I.C.Weiner understandable, BUT.. sooner or later humanity will end by something foolish, 2 of our biggest threat now is an asteroid, one might hit within the next 100 btw, or we go nuclear, if we have another home somewhere in space we double our chances by so much for survival, these next 100 years with how things are going…. We not gonna make it. We should defiantly get together and focus what’s out there and try to study or built a home somewhere. We’re never reaching any types of civilizations, we’re currently at type 0, NOT EVEN TYPE 1!!!! .. we need at least type 3 to explore out there. It’s impossible for us, world leaders are selfish….greed is everywhere,
Just to remind y’all we got everything (resources , the time), ect…) but we’re not working together we can do so much together and get out there but that won’t happen any time soon. And by then it’ll be too late. WERE DOOM Within the next hundred years..
How about working together to make this planet (our home) what it should be. 🤨
I Love You T2 ❤️🙏🏿🙌🏿

Incredibly impressive presentation again with humor and well placed words. Also, Yes on the working back vids on this one. T2
We are currently the only living organism that is in the know of our earth's inevitable demise as history has shown across the galaxies... does anyone else find this interesting?
We may be nature’s answer to the question of „how can life spread to other planets“. But we are still on baby steps to give life a bigger chance to prevail and may not achieve it.
No
@@davidgantenbein9362 I imagine becoming a multiplanetary species would require an obscene amount of selflessness which is something that the past and current has unfortunately shown, we are not capable of.
Yes.
We all know it - I mean ALL Life - some understand and acknowledge this , as our generational ship carrys on .
Others will not awaken until it is to late .
Many years ago in the BIE - before internet era - our present situation became known , though not in detail . Bits of that have come to fruition since , each incident , wakening a few more of us , to engage without true heritage , and start the cooperation now , forget about the bloody profits etc .
Just awaken sufficiently , to start one's own journey towards a cooperative , compassionate future , where no one , is of no value .
I'm amazed how human where able to explain how the universe will end while they weren't there when it was been created!
I think we could, yes at that point we would look nothing like humans because of our bodies would change over trillions of years, but we definitely could survive that long if we really have to.
Wouldn't even be considered apart of the homo genus by the extension of time.
And if you take into account the self-modifications we might undergo...who knows

Keep the tip
I'll be surprised if I made it past my 30's, let alone if humanity ever leaves this planet (note: the moon doesn't count). In my opinion, we never will. We'll just cause our own extinction. Now, in my opinion, I'd love if humanity could stop begin petty long enough to find solutions to Earth's eventual demise, so we can find other places to live. It would be nice if we start by learning how to treat Earth better. Even if we do learn that though, eventually, the end of the world will legitimately arrive.
@James Henry Smith earth aint flat whatchu on about
@James Henry Smith the earth isnt flat, you are being deceived
We had a good run. You have been a wonderful channel. Thank you, 42!..I mean Thoughty 2!..
This video is terrifying. Just what I needed for my current anxiety. Thanks Thoughty!😅😩
We need to save the universe so Thoughty2, err, his descendants, descendants can continue to make entertaining videos.
I'm gonna miss these videos when we're all turned to radioactive dust.
I guess (if Putin has his way) that'll be next Tuesday!☠
I agree. I mean it only takes 250-1000 humans to restart humanity. I don't think we will be extinct anytime soon.
ye but if most knowledge is lost, and those people are all stupid af its pretty unlikely…. on the other hand, if there are only smart scientists etc, humanity could go so much higher and greater than ever before
You just gave me a little bit of motivation to live and helped me see a teeny tiny speck of light at the end of a very long tunnel.
Really enjoy your pod casts. Have you considered doing something about the Franklin Expedition?
this video really gave me hope that we might actually live for eternity
there's another youtuber named Isaac Arthur and if you liked this I think you should probably check him out
Reassuring, but also terrifying. It brings me comfort to know Humans could potentially live many trillions maybe even quintillions of years, but ultimately we would all have to die eventually.
How did you....
So you were able to watch and comment a whole 2 hours before anybody else in the world ? 😂

Never mind the end of the Universe, the way things are going, I'd settle for the end of the month.

Actually, the Apocalypse doesn't mean total destruction, it means "unveiling" (of what is yet to discover).
*Dumb question*
...how do we know how long some of these stars will last, if none so far have existed for longer than the universe itself has existed?
Maths, fool
Not a dumb question just a question that can be answered
Well we dont actually know 100% for sure however based on a number of facts about that star, we can guesstimate and come pretty close to the real number.
Most ppl dont know but with things like this, there is also a margin of error. This can vary greatly depending on our knowledge at the time but eventually, with better techniques comes more accuracy.
The real question is; if we manage to no kill each other of course. What in the hell will we look like in order to do all the space travel?
Hopefully like Mass Effect
You know WALL-E... That. Just hopefully more active
I just realised that there's literally no reason to set up a base on Mars or anything, it's literally uninhabitable. Our earth is where they should focus their money and efforts for, they want a place to colonize when we already have a perfect earth
What a brilliant video, love this.
I love space sm. but icl I know the numbers are big, but it still scares me and makes me feel weird knowing that our universe will eventually just be nothing
Am I the only one who thinks his intro " Hey thoughty2 here " is incredible. Mad respect for your content.
"Teenage years" cant be more true. You totally should make a video "what if the whole world unites"... one passport, one currency, one law, one everything. I think it is a pretty good start to help taim the greedy/angry teeagers.
Eh, I think that would really upset the NWO conspiracy minded type.
Sounds horrifying.
How do we know our species hasn't already colonized all over the universe and we are one of the colonies?
This is one of the best videos you have ever created.
Brilliant idea from you!!!
It’d be cooler if we could create an artificial star that’s permanently self sustaining.
@Cannabis Dreams ya, which I why I believe we should sacrifice the weak to perfect our blood magic, if you can’t join the laws of thermodynamics, avoid them with blood magic.
@@theintelligentweeb9680 dragon age?
Well modern humanity is around 300,000 years old. Since Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago, countless species came and went despite some being around for millions of years. And by our reckoning, this planet has another 4 billion more years before its certain demise, so… yeah, not looking too good for us either way.
We have intelligence and technology. It can either doom us, or allow us to overcome completely the limitations of nature. It depends on us.
As you state in your video a lot depends on humankind's ability to colonize other solar systems. Short of that, I doubt mankind will last as long as the dinosaurs did.
I like you're take on this! Human's do indeed have limitless potential despite our plethora of flaw, we only need reach out and grasp it.
Extremly impressive.
Thank you
Great Filter! Interesting name for the current state of being on Earth. So, basically, it's evolution according to Darwin again. Quite possible.
Not that surprising eh?
@@SlapstickGenius23 not surprising, but terrifying. Imagine, I am in Moscow, Russia. We might loose any connections with the world soon. We are being cut off against our will.
We could be already on a 2nd or 3rd planet. Maybe we left Mars in the past. Maybe we've been ping ponging back n forth from earth to Mars for a while.
Not to be picky, but if we survive the end of the universe then the universe couldn't have ended lol
I saw the title and couldn’t resist
What a fantastic video, even by the standard of your usual fantastic videos.
"The good news is we have quite a long time." - Oh, no... Nobody has told Thoughty about the climate crisis...
There is no climate crisis.
Imagine living forever...
I have no thanks
About 11:00: In order to imagine large numbers like Millions, billions and trillions, you should use visualize it with volumes instead of time, since it's easier by the third root: To make a cube 1000 times lager, you only must increase the length of it's edges by a factor of 10.
You can imagine and even easily see a cube of 1mm³, and you easily can see a cube of 1m³ which contains a billion of the smaller cubes. A trillion of them would fit into a cube of 10m×10m×10m.
If we do spread out some I just hope we bring our gardens with us
Loved this good job 👏

This dude is not doubt an intelligent guy, looks very simple, but speaks volumes as if it was nothing.
For anyone wondering why smaller stars age slower, imma nerd for a bit.
The way a star uses its fuel is by fusing hydrogen in its core. Bigger stars have bigger cores they can fuse, and therefore use up, exponentially more hydrogen the bigger they are. This is why the smallest stars can last up to 20 trillion years.
