They joke, but last week it was shortened to 10^78. At this rate, we’ve only got about six weeks left.

Do black holes evaporate trillions of trillions of times faster than expected? Supermassive ones were expected to take around 10^100 years.

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 1 week ago

They get big enough, less than a second. Duh.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

That's small enough. They evaporate quicker the smaller they are

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 1 week ago

..._and_when they get large enough.

Just like A big bang.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

I don't think black holes can make big bangs

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 1 week ago

Finish the logic on that. Also, you're wrong about size gravity wave generation. More=more

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Consider supermassive black holes. They are the largest entities in the universe and they exist in nearly every galaxy. They aren't going to get appreciably bigger, if they aren't big enough to bang, what is?

Then by what mechanism do you propose an incredibly deep gravity well could spit out bulk stuff?

I'm taking the null hypothesis, you're the one with a claim to prove

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 1 week ago

Ask Jack Harkness. I am not a science guy. I see dimensions that are at least difficult to describe. This one, not so much. "Eventually" gravity amps black holes super whatever clustefuck break the line of time to gravity.

Your super is little. Sure they act the way you say. Stars are sand. Super might be a mountain but we're talking about black hole black holes here.

Does that make sense?

Coincidentally Universe Today addressed this in their recent question show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/SiGmJkeCPl8?t=59m51s just before the 60 minute mark

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago

It makes sense that your reference is a science fiction show

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 6 days ago

That is not a reference. It is an allusion.

Why is there a (presumably AI-generated) Earth on fire for the "end of the universe", when the Earth would be way gone far sooner than that (that is, in a few billion years when the Sun blows up to a red giant)? It's pretty misleading in my opinion, as it makes it seem like a doomsday apocalypse kind of scenario.

The catching on fire doesn't make sense either, as the end of the universe will likely be very very cold (a heat death, some might say).

[-] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

At that point everything will be iron or black holes, so no fire.

[-] NichtElias@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Not to mention the continents looking just like the ones today. That image is implying in at most a few million years the earth will burn

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sorry, that's outside of the cancelation window. You'll have to pay full price for the visit.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Fair enough. Just bill me on the date of the appointment.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Hi Remember_the_tooth, just a quick reminder that you’re scheduled visit on April 13, 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 is only 36499999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999993 days away!

Oh no, won't anybody think of the shareholders?

[-] sickday@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

How'd they get a dentist appointment booked so soon? Must have booked early. Lucky

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

You'll lament it in one of your reencarnation
