This guy has some interesting input on the subject


I just noticed this discussion on simulations is now going on in a couple threads. Maybe we should have a thread discussing this specific idea or find a more appropriate thread?

We could always harness black holes for energy and extend life into the far future.

But how?

Probably just die.

This short story is appropriate.

Since the discussion has turned into far future, simulation hypothesis, and other ideas on the future of life I think it is only appropriate that it be moved to a thread regarding what the future holds for humanity.

I have also changed the topic title to include what the future may hold for all intelligent life.

Unless there is some hidden way to punch into a new universe without dying or manufacture spacetime conditions that allow for infinite energy, it is unlikely anything will survive. Entropy really is going to be the death of everything.

Is time travel possible? Will it be possible in the future?

Mathematically yes as closed timelike curves fit within General Relativity.

Quote steeljaw354 ()

Probably no

Most of what is known suggests any systems setup that would allow time travel are prevented.

If time travel is possible then where are all the time travelers?

If it is possible, they probably don't use it since all the risks and such.

Depending on the complexity it could be reproducible by anyone so one would expect to still see time travelers.

Here is why risk would not factor into this if it were possible. If you are at the end of the universe and energy is running out, but you have enough energy to travel back in time to when there was more energy, and the only outcome is non-existence through death then the potential reward outweighs any risk as the risk is the same either way.
