TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time (4K)

This video from melodysheep puts the long, long, long future in perspective for me: [link] [this video] -- DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE -- Support my work on Patreon: [link] | Get the soundtrack: [link] | How's it all gonna end? This experience takes us on a journey to the end of time, trillions of years into the future, to discover what the fate of our planet and our universe may ultimately be. We start in 2019 and travel exponentially through time, witnessing the future of Earth, the death of the sun, the end of all stars, proton decay, zombie galaxies, possible future civilizations, exploding black holes, the effects of dark energy, alternate universes, the final fate of the cosmos - to name a few. This is a picture of the future as painted by modern science - a picture that will surely evolve over time as we dig for more clues to how our story will unfold. Much of the science is very recent - and new puzzle pieces are still waiting to be found. To me, this overhead view of time gives a profound perspective - that we are living inside the hot flash of the Big Bang, the perfect moment to soak in the sights and sounds of a universe in its glory days, before it all fades away. Although the end will eventually come, we have a practical infinity of time to play with if we play our cards right. The future may look bleak, but we have enormous potential as a species. Featuring the voices of David Attenborough, Craig Childs, Brian Cox, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michelle Thaller, Lawrence Krauss,

> Does 4k matter? The PC I'm typing this on has two 27in 4k screens. I'm sitting so that I look at them from about 75cm away (that's 2.5 feet in weird units). I archive most of my video files in 720p, because I genuinely don't see that big of a difference between even 720p and 1080p. It is definitely visible, but usually, it does not add much to the experience, considering that most videos today are produced to be watchable on smartphones and tablets just as much as cinema screens or huge TVs. I only make an exception here for "cinematic" content that was intended for the very big screen. That does not necessarily mean movies, but also certain YouTube videos, like "Timelapse of the Future": [this video] - This one hits differently for me in 4K vs. just 1080p. Having to watch this in just 720p would be tragic, because its cinematography relies on 4K's ability to resolve very fine lines. So why would I make a point to have both my screens be 4K? Because where else do you look at fine lines a lot? You're looking at it right now: Text. For any occupation that requires reading a lot of text (like programming!), 4K absolutely makes a difference. Even if I don't decrease the font size to get more text on screen at once, just having the outlines of the glyphs be sharper reduces eye strain in my experience.

> If so, anything we can observe of seemingly another universe is in actuality part of our universe. Yes, this is how I would interpret the definition of THE UNIVERSE. My personal interpretation of "another universe" would be something like- a multidimensional vacuum populated with matter/energy that currently exists from our inertial frame of reference, and there is nothing linking our own sparsely populated vacuum to this other universe. i.e. if you can observe it, then it's not a different universe. As Penrose states, this is merely an earlier version of the same universe, which existed before the Big Bang. Here is a different prediction, a timelapse, of the fate of our universe (as told by Brian Cox), which assumes the universe will continue expanding... [this video]
