I discovered a US show called the universe last friday due to finding that all my shows i usually download on a friday my time were missing (and not realising that it was thanksgiving thought they had all finished for the year already). I've downloaded half of the first 2 seasons so far to go with the three episodes from the current season.

It is mostly based in legitimate current science (although they do pretty much push a lot of things as near fact, such as parralel universes - ones with alternate versions of us leading different lives) and they speak to what would appear to be some of the best people in the industry, but is very sensationalised for your average joe sixpack (the plumber).

Anyway, out of the 5 episodes i've watched, at least twice now they have they discussed what humans might do at the end of existance (of the sun and the universe) to survive (6 billion years from now for the sun and a lot longer for the universe itself which would involve us movign to a parralel dimension universe).

I don't know about you but I have never thought of the existance of the human race being something that lasts more that the 10's of thousands of years, if we're lucky.

What about you guys?

I love stuff like that! I have immense faith in humanity, we have it all to seek out solutions unlike all other known species. Yes, sadly it more often than not takes us getting into some predicament or crisis to find a workable solution but it usually comes as needed. I hope as the years pass, thousands and millions of years humans become more enlightened and much of the pettiness, narrow mindedness, frivolousness and selfishness is weened out through our evolution. IMO we will begin to see major paradigm shifts in humanity in our lifetime. The next 100 years will be more dramatic and impactful than the past 100 years and the last 100 year were among the most impactful in human history already.

As for parallel universes and dimensions, these all prove to be very interesting theories. The thought that there is not only one universe but possibly many or an infinite number of multiverses is exciting to think on.

We're doomed. I've never been more certain of that than I am right now. People have no memories. No reasoning faculties. No real sense of concern or apathy. It's about I, Me, Mine, as George Harrison put it.

Sorry I have more faith in humanity (more than I would have most religious scriptures' gods though a god may be there, said god IMO stands back and watches us like we would watch t.v. shows.). We are progressive beings and our ability to realize and rationalize things out to adjust and correct issues is proven. We will be fine I'm sure of it. It may not be rosy or perfect and we will never be perfect but humanity has proven it can overcome.

it's doesn't matter, though. nature will take care of us. however, it's kind of fascinating to think about what the last years will be like.

i personally think we'll eventually succumb to some rampant incurable disease that spreads with violent speed or there will be a nuclear-powered exit of us from this folly we call life.

in the unlikely chance that doesn't happen, eventually the atmosphere and water will both evaporate completely, so we're ass-out either way.

I vote for the first one. Because "The Stand" was pretty cool and if by some infinitesmally tiny chance I survive with no one around, I'll be at peace for the first time ever. And then I'll go raid the BMW dealership.

If you read my blag, you'd see that I have had some boring downtime waiting for work from my company (which didn't actually materialize - guh), and I've been sort of stuck in accommodation that is way nicer and more expensive than I need, which happens to have (slow) wi-fi.

It's also not really safe for whitey to walk around the streets at night in Buj, and to be honest, I can't really be buggered to take a taxi to some restaurant or bar just to chill out for a while and take a taxi back, so I'm hanging out here. (it's 7:00 right now, and gets dark right after 6:00).

+1. I used to have dreams like that. Where I'd wake up and be the last fucking person on earth. I always did two things in these dreams. 1) Masturbate in some (traditionally) public place, 2) make my way to a Ferrari or Porsche dealership.

I was a troubled, troubled youth.
