Say we find an encyclopedia of the universe. It contains information on all points in time throughout the cosmos throughout 13.8 billion years. All of the histories of aliens and life out there, including ours. The histories of star and galaxy formations. There are a sextillion planets out there. That would be Zettabytes of data (look it up). Crazy if you think about it. I want to know it all.

Who said nothing happened during those 13.2 billion years?

Reminds me of something I sometimes think about

If very ancient aliens once visited Earth during the age of the dinosaurs and what if someday we meet them and they actually say "btw, we have video recordings of your planet from millions of years ago. Wanna see?"

That would be great. Knowledge is everything.

I wonder if it would have a plea at the top for a donation of 5 spacebucks to keep the universal encyclopedia operating.

Ok I wouldn't read all of it. Obviously you would read up on the most interesting things. Maybe the data would have a most interesting moments section :P
