I watched a lot of videos about the various ways the cosmos can end us. And to be honest, I found solace in the fact that most apocalypse will happen soo fast at such scale that we wont have time to fathom what is happening. We might see something weird. Such as the sky lights up pretty... But then poof. At the snap of a finger, we will be gone.
I am more concerned about smaller scale dangers that gives us ample time to suffer. A Carrington event for instance.
i mean if its lightspeed we probably wouldnt even be able to see its coming. just an instant erasure. so, yknow, not horrible. nobody would even notice
As an entity approaches the speed of light, time will slow down to a near stop. Something that just passed the event horizon will experience a much longer perception of time than an entity outside the black hole. The outside viewer sees something get devoured instantly. The entity entering the black hole could experience billions of years.
What are the odds that all of these physics and astronomy questions still linger? Quantum mechanics, accurately measuring the distance and size of celestial bodies, etc. Even the simple double slit experiment demonstrates how absurd the "rules" are regarding time and energy. I think the odds that science can create productive fusion but can't form any real consensus on many of the the results from CERN are low.
What explains the spooky action at a distance, gravity waves, an ever expanding but lifeless universe, dilation of time and light? We are being turned into spaghetti this very moment. Earth is already at the event horizon. Our entire history is a stretched out perception of time due to approaching the speed of light. In short, we are all essentially already crushed. We just don't and can't know it yet.

Well I didn't know they moved, let alone spin dash around. So thanks for that.
