Who cares how short you live. A person who lived 30 years of quality life (eg: ran for president, became a billionaire, did something for the world etc) is exponentially better than a normal faggot who lives up to 80 (wagecuck).

Time is decay. Time is the byproduct of decay in a process of energy going from highest concentration to the lowest concentration.
This decay affects everything. including space. Space expands as energy inverts. And since all matter and energy has a setting from highest concentration to zero, all things in the universe are subject to interacting and moving in this blank void.

after the heat death of the universe, everything will just be motionless and turn to nothing.

This is what normalfaggots think. What do you think happened after the big bang? Yes, it was also motionless and nothing. If the heat death does occur, another bigbang will happen and the rest of our lives will repeat. It is a never ending cycle.

I'm assume your question is limited to physics as you are posting this on /sci/. Time is just a parameter that let's you register events. That is time is a pure kinematic concept and is independent of whatever physical theory you are using as it's just a way to differentiate between events.

>>9756030
Time is the effect of the clock created by massless particles traveling at the speed of light, trapped in groups of interactions incapable of doing so as a whole due to the mass they create in that interactive process. This leads to measurable entropy, and eventually, perspective to measure it with.

As for why we perceive time the way we do, fuck if I know - probably something about all having developed in the same gravity well, and it's "good enough".

Maybe more of a >>>/lit/ question, but I sometimes wonder how fundamentally our perception of time has changed over the years. You don't, for instance, see any literature about anyone going back in time to change events said until the last 300 years or so. You indeed don't see any form of time travel at all, in any fiction across the world, save for folks falling asleep for centuries and waking up later. It almost suggests we had an entirely different view of time until recently, even at the layman level. Then again, in most civilizations, there's usually a thousand years or so before you see the mention of any color other than red in its literature, yet they are generally making multiple colors of dyes before then, so may be neither here nor there.

Already too late for that, much of the universe is beyond the hubble and observable boundaries. Gravity propagates at the speed of light - none of that matter is coming back.

There's some thought that the "big rip" may result in a quantum vacuum event similar to the big bang, but there's no reason any such universe created would be identical to our own (QM dictates it pretty much can't be). Then again, there's more fringe theories suggesting this is happening all the time, only we don't perceive it, as the universes so created are effectively moving away from us at faster than the speed of light.

Is there any way of calculating how big the universe actually is based on the rate of expansion and time since the Big Bang ?

>> No.9758110

>>9758044
>>9758101
The observed density of mass in the universe is roughly is about 3 x 10^-30 g/cm^3, the observable universe is about 14 billion light years in any direction, do the math, and ya get 3 x 10^55g. All those red-light shadows at the edge of the observable universe from galaxies that have long left the hubble sphere continue this density.

Though the sphere appears almost 28 billion ly in diameter, it is far larger. We know that the universe is expanding. Thus, while we might see a spot that lies 14 billion light-years from Earth at the time of the Big Bang, the universe has continued to expand over its lifetime. If inflation occurred at a constant rate through the life of the universe, that same spot is 46 billion light-years away today, making the diameter of the observable universe a sphere around 92 billion light-years.

We get these numbers from the baryonic acoustic oscillations that fill the cosmic microwave background. In addition to standard candles, such as type 1A nova.

If the universe expanded at C during inflation, it should be 10^23, or 100 sextillion ly across, but of course the cascade scenarios indicate a burst.

So, instead of taking one measurement method, a team at the University of Oxford did a statistical analysis of all of the results. By using Bayesian model averaging they found that the universe is at least 250 times larger than the observable universe, or at least 7 trillion light-years across. Which seems big, but is actually more tightly constrained than many other models.

Granted, the universe is flat, which gives it effectively infinite size, but as it has a finite age, all we can truly conclude is that the universe is much larger than the volume we can directly observe.
