Will there still be humans in 300,000,000 million years?
- CalRobert 13y ago300 trillion? Unlikely.
- calroc 13y agoDerp. My bad.
- dredmorbius 13y agoSo what did you mean? And what are you getting at? Advanced species lifespan seems to range from ~1 - 10 million years or so, plus or minus a lot, before genetic drift sets in.
- calroc 13y agoI took a bit of umbrage at the idea that humans surviving longer than, say, the dinosaurs did is "over hyped and misunderstood". That comment was my attempt at an unhyped and easily understood definition of "sustainability". Three hundred mega-years (what I meant) is a somewhat arbitrary milestone. (I think long-term but 10^15 years is a bit much for even me. But see Stapledon's "Star Maker"...) (BTW, your thinking seems unusually clear on these matters.)
