What kind of person do you think you would be if you were 66 Billion years old?

Wouldn't even your dust be gone in 66 billion years? Maybe at some point wouldn't everyone just be spread out molecules across the globe?
Depends if dark energy is really a thing and we're headed for the Big Rip. Nevertheless, the Sun will become a red giant in 5 billion years time, vapourising and destroying the Earth. In any case, the Earth will become uninhabitable 500 million years from now as the Sun increases in luminosity on the Main Sequence and the "Goldilocks Zone" for sustaining life moves outward. About another billion years after becoming a red giant, the Sun will shed its outer layers and only its degenerate matter core will remain as a white dwarf.
 
Yep. In 66 billion years, Earth will be the least of our worries since it won't be around anymore.
 
If I were 66 Billion, I'd be a Non-Primate because primates themselves didn't exist until 55 million years ago. To say nothing about Homo Sapiens.
 
66 billion years is much older than the currently estimated age of the universe of about 13.8 billion years.

Shit. I messed up. I read "billion" and typed "billion" but thought "million". "66 billion" made me think of dinosaurs, which are more like 66 million.

Well... if I were 66 Billion, I guess I wouldn't be from this Universe!

Don't worry. Your statement is still correct. You wouldn't be a primate if you were that old. You'd be older than a Nibblonian or Lorien as well.
 
I have to, *ahem*, admit that I was around when this song was once played on the airwaves. Yeah, back when the only way to hear recorded music was tuning in with a radio, or playing tapes & vinyl records. :ouch: These guys did the opposite of the trend, giving a lot more time to their predictions (unlike the ridiculous predicted timeline of having a moon base in 1980 or visiting Jupiter with manned spacecraft in 2001). Depressing song, but then this topic did bring up a depressing concept. :(

10,000 years... will man's reign be through by then?

I don't want to live much past 66 earth years. Cannot think of anything more tedious than being around for 66 billion. How awful and lonely.
 
You'd remember such a tiny fraction of your life, you be like The Doctor in terms of every so often you would forget so much that shaped who you are, leaving a new person in place.
 
Even after 66 billion years, I would probably still not be able to play the piano like a virtuoso, speak fluent French nor get the girl.
 
unbearably sarcastic, I suppose. And unspeakably relieved that humankind managed to extinct itself and finally give the planet a chance to recover from the ordeal and develop intelligent life
