Did you just type this out? Nice

Only Buzz Lightyear will get to see it :(
Gotta change it to scientific
Yeah i got this first, thanks! But it didn’t give any meaning in size, after I saw “infinite” I knew more or less how long I should wait
It was mostly for the joke, as the scientific calculator answer is just the equation written with different notation.
Add this feature to minecraft, so if you wait too long, everything is just iron. Even the air blocks.
YES

TIME TRAVEL. what a great idea travel too far in the future and you’re a brick
You’re saying bedrock eventually becomes breakable?
That’s…
this aigen?
or does my slop sense tingle wrongly?
Wrongly, I’m afraid. I remember this series of “alot” illustrations from years ago. IIRC a web comic author made them.
The origin of the alot is the blog hyperbole and a half, this article in particular. It is very cute tbh. I don’t find it hard to believe that somebody drew this particular alot in response later on.
I tried a few reverse image search sites, none of them could find that exact image, not even something similar.
Also, that font is really similar to what AI might use.
I’d say it’s AI slop.
Similar alots stem from this blog from 2010
For some extra existential crisis, consider this.
In 1x1010^56 years, a new big bang could occur in the universe, through quantum tunneling.
If you multiply that with all possible ways in which all subatomic particles in the observable universe could be arranged (1x10^115), that might be a possible timeframe for a new universe exactly like ours.
That is, a universe in where you posted that comment, and I’m writing this right now. Maybe we’re doing that a few seconds differently, but overall it’s the same universe.
I didn’t understand this one. Why would any matter eventually turn into iron?
Elements with a proton number less than or greater than iron become more stable as they approach iron, and so, over very, very long timeframes, from random quantum tunnelling effects, will favour being iron over being other elements.
Thus, in 10^~1500 years, virtually all atoms in the universe will turn into iron, assuming protons don’t decay (which may or may not happen).
So all males do eventually become FeMales? I knew it…
Iron-56 is one of the most stable nuclei, along with nickel-62, so after untold time lengths, due to standard fissile decay/spontaneous fusion (possibly due to quantum tunneling), all baryonic matter decays into iron-56, and a little nickel-62.
Okay. I need a physicist. How does that relate to the heat death of the universe. Is all iron-56 the most probable distribution of energy in the universe (max entropy)?
Not a physicist yet, temporarily a high school physics and maths teacher until I can start my PhD
Fe-56 is the heaviest nucleus that releases energy when other nuclei fuse into it. Everything heavier requires energy, that has to come from somewhere else, to fuse. All things tend to keep doing stuff that release energy, and they don’t like to do stuff that requires energy. So, in a long enough amount of time, nuclei keep fusing together while it releases energy, and stop when it starts to require energy.
At least that’s what happens inside regular old stars. The vast majority of them will have an iron core after a certain amount of time.
It pretty much only takes nuclear physics into account though, whereas the actual universe is a lot more complicated and will thus probably not turn itself into all iron.
Not a physicist, but I thought the heat death of the universe also involved all the matter being sucked into black holes and turned into pure energy. There’s a big chunk converted up front in the accretion disk, then the rest is converted into hawking radiation as the black hole(s) evaporate over the oodles and oodles of years.
Whether or not there are also lumps of iron-56 or other matter floating around in the cold void probably depends on the real truth behind dark matter and dark energy and their long-term behavior.
The heat death has everything spread out so your visible universe holds only you more or less. The most extreme models say matter to be torn to atoms, the less extreme expect solar systems to survive, maybe even galaxies.
Both agree the black holes will evaporate to nothing but Hawking radiation
Yeah the whole “big rip” or whatever the colloquial term is, is an interesting one to think about if the expansion just keeps on accelerating.
But from what science news I follow, I think our models and theories in that area are in for a shake-up. It will be interesting to see!
I think that is kind of orthogonal to the concept of heat death, though, which is more about entropy. Any universe that has a solar system or galaxy in it is far from reaching the state of heat death.
Astronomer here, not necessarily. Generally, heat death just means entropy goes maximal, as in everything is as spread out as it can be and the heat everywhere in the universe is the same.
Not sure if on those time scales all gets sucked up by BH
This is an important question with real-life implications.
Please help I tried this experiment but my eyes turned to Iron how can I see inside the box?
You don’t need to, I can tell you what’s inside.
Iron.
Step 1: kill the cat in the box Step 2: make sure the cat isn’t still alive when you’re not looking
This post really resonates with me
Someone tried to make a meme out a few random bits of knowledge and I’m not sure what my reaction is supposed to be.
Well then here’s the explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pycnonuclear_fusion
I’m not asking about nuclear physics, I’m asking about where to draw the line between a meme and not a meme. The post is nothing but a few statements with a picture of a cat. I mean, using a cat picture as a bookmark for a science book would be the same thing but I wouldn’t call it a meme. If the cat was famous, maybe we’d have something but I don’t know him.
Its a meme template on which I slapped text on so it kinda is a meme
Ok. So it’s not meant to be Schrodinger’s cat. Yet Schrodinger’s cat and proton decay are so closely related.
The cat with “look inside” is the meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cat-looks-inside
Ok I’ll take that. But now I still don’t understand how that particular cat photo meme can relate to proton decay or 10^1500 years. Like, the cat is looking me. So what.
We could probably make something out of that cat being Schrodinger’s. But I don’t think that’s the point. The cat is outside the box, not inside. I mean, proton decay is quite precisely what Schrodinger’s cat is about, so I’m confused if it’s supposed to be Schrodinger’s cat or not.
I’m asking about where to draw the line between a meme and not a meme. The post is nothing but a few statements with a picture of a cat.
I can draw 7 straight lines in a blank piece of paper, and a lot of people would recognize it as one of the most widespread memes ever on the internet. You should really look up the definition of what a meme is, and it’s biological origin. Hint: memes are not things that make you in particular laugh.
Yeah I haven’t seen all of them. Talk of decay and a cat in the same post leads me straight to Schrodinger’s cat instead.
