I assume we're talking millions of years from now?Yea. It's not happening any time soon. But even in the very far future, possibly when humans no longer exist, life might still exist somewhere
Bold to imply scientists know the true size of the universe right now.
I mean, our sun is at it's mid-life. In a few billion years it will expand out to engulf us.Well I'm more talking about some civilization somewhere else in the universe. Possibly scientists of a species that might not even exist yet
bruh we figured out dinosaurs from millions of years ago back in like the fuckin 60s if not earlier.no, it's really not a dumb topic
technology has only gotten better we know about the big bang and shit
this is a very dumb topic fuck im just gonna stop
bruh we figured out dinosaurs from millions of years ago back in like the fuckin 60s if not earlier.I'm not talking about a civilization that has our technology and past knowledge. Talking about scientists who don't even know earth ever existed. Some civilization that won't arise for millions of years still. Maybe their ancestors are alive right now but as primitive creatures

no, it's really not a dumb topicit absolutely is
yeah it's pretty depressing tbh.
especially when you consider that we are probably in a similar situation. we have no way of knowing what's beyond the cosmic horizon as we currently can perceive it. maybe whole entire other universes or something used to be detectable earlier in our universe's existence, but they've since moved too far away and now we have no way of seeing them or even knowing they exist.

it absolutely isthere literally is no way for us to know even know what lies beyond the cosmic horizon. due to the expansion of the universe, light from past a certain point at the edge of the visible universe will literally never reach us. and everything in the universe is moving away from everything else as the universe expands. so, sometime in the far future, all the other galaxies we see now are going to be past that cosmic horizon and there light will never ever reach the life that would exist here at that point in time.

There was a post I made awhile back. What exactly the shape of the universe. Is it a sphere? A cone? If it was a sphere the sphere would fill the void. Think of it like a balloon. Expand too much beyond the borders and it goes POP! A cone it would have a point of origin. We haven't found it yet.
comparing it to discovering dinosaur fossils would only make sense if there was a theoretical part of the earth's interior that we have never detected and will never be able to detect and will never ever even know that it's there, and there are dinosaur fossils in that.
I assume we're talking millions of years from now?More like, trillions.
