Current Events > Time isn't constant, so you can't say death is certain

(+) Yeah! (+)

And that is the secret to the universe

Even after the universe collapses back into a singularity, given an infinite amount of time, there is a chance that your mind will exist again quadrillions of years down the line

Uh...? We only exist inside our heads as we
do because of our biology. Once you're dead.... you're gone.

I mean once the world collapses back into singularity is is expected that another Big Bang will happen eventually

Assuming that even happens, or continuing to assume that a subsequent Big Bang would lead to a deterministic copy of every single particle interaction ever.

Also raises the question of if a copy of the physical conditions would produce "you."

Really, you just can't answer this question.

It's almost a joke that we're able to even conceive of this.

I like the idea of the universe collapsing in on itself. That's the nature of everything that exists in the universe. From nothing to something, and from something, back to nothing. Perfectly poetic.

I think he means the theory that hundreds of billions of years down the line the universe will be nothing except super massive black holes which then consume themselves until there is a single one. Which I guess is suppose to eventually collapse in on itself.

Yeah who knows maybe that's what happens and then it'll blow up again :O
