Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for August 11, 2023

It’s like a lot of books: Good at the beginning and the ending, but too long in the middle.

On Tuesday, Hammy was shown passing the event horizon of a black hole: https://www.gocomics.com/overthehedge/2023/08/08

When the universe came into being, it wasn’t just matter and energy, but space and time also started at the same… erm… time. So, when the universe comes to an end, so will space, so where will everything go? And, since time will also come to an end, when will this all happen, and what will be after that?

Great, now I’m existentially terrified.

We will never know, the Universe is too vast for us ever to know the answer if it’s ever going to end. The Universe is old, we have only been civilized about six thousand years, we are just youngsters and have a lot to learn if we don’t destroy ourselves first.

It’ll end when the computer our simulation runs on needs to be rebooted.

ah, the ability to contemplate the beginning and end of the universe and still not know what we want for lunch today.

My two thoughts that are no more illogical or provable than any others. We are on an electron that is part of a sodium atom in a larger construct or everything is just a yo yo, expand and contract, over and over.
