> "Around this vast timeframe, quantum tunnelling in any isolated patch of the universe could generate new inflationary events, resulting in new Big Bangs giving birth to new universes."

it's ok guys we will get new universes




That will take 10^10^10^56 years.

There are about 10^50 atoms on earth, and about about 10^82 atoms in the observable universe. There aren't nearly enough atoms in the universe to store the number written out in full.

1/10: terrible delivery time.


eventually the universe becomes so empty that there is nothing that can actually change so time becomes meaningless.


i'm not an expert in inflationary events but i assume they would be outside of our 'light cone' anyway


So not only will delivery take forever it will also be delivered at the wrong address? Seems like some things will never change...


... and when it finally arrives, the box will be empty. :-)

The universe is a funny mix of the ultimate free lunch and just getting reamed by entropy and expansion. I wish it would make up its mind.
