You would just free fall forever since that reality didn't require you to eat, sleep, or drink. That was thousands of subjective years ago and I bet he's still falling.

Another popular one for those who keep our memories (which is banned here, but some people use hacks) is the Library. The Library is an infinite series of rooms of all sorts with book shelves everywhere. It contains every book of every length possible. For example, if you keep to English, numbers, and logical symbols, you get about 200 symbols. So it has every 300 page book with 2,000 characters per symbol in there, 600,000^200 books, and that's just the books with those exact dimensions. More books than there are protons in this reality.

So there is everything you could ever read. There is, within the library, a phase space map of everything that has and ever will happened in this reality, along with the texts to let you read that phase space map. There are alternate endings to War and Peace. Winds of Winter is out there.

Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of books are incoherent since there are more ways to be incoherent than meaningful.

But, for every given book, there exists sets of other books that tell you how to read that seemingly incoherent stream as a meaningful message. They can all be codes, "ahduev&#7-a" can mean "mother" or "entropy." But of course there is more than one set of books that will tell you what each other book means, so every book actually has multiple meanings. In fact, some people who have spent millennia there say that each book actually contains all the information of all the other books. Most though say there is a minimum size for a set of books, a minimum Kolmogorov Complexity, that you need to say all possibly meaningful things. That's why they stay there, hunting for that number.

They think we might be allowed to die if we discover the number.
