      @@vaughnparry1760 haven't you watched the video? It is relevant, 100% in fact...the universe will still exist after the "heat death" in 10^100 years and at that stage time becomes irrelevant because literally nothing's going to happen after that, but that's not the point here. It's about the *time* until that event, and Michael (as he always does) explained pretty clear and undeniably why relaxing *does* prolong that event. And if you're talking about emotions being irrelevant in that regard, think again...you consume energy by thinking aswell. Relaxing literally saves up energy consumption compared to feeling angered for example the same way he described in the video only even less than compared to actively moving your body.
      In my whole life until now I sure as hell saved the universe a nanosecond or two compared to the hypothetical me that would've been more active.
      Now if you had said it's irrelevant to think about it since there is no "if" and thus comparing your past and future life with a hypothetical other life doesn't change anything because you have lived and will live only one way which is already set in stone because of the nonexistence of coincidence in our universe...well *then* you'd have a point there, but as it stands you seem to highly underestimate the impact (or relevance) everything has/had/will have on everything else just because it's too tiny of a relevance for you to imagine. But please try to, because it's fascinating as fuck to find these things out. And also don't try to disprove scientific theories with semantics...you'll only sound smart and give fuel to ignorance to spread more ignorance.
      If I misunderstood your point, just say so...I'm not 100% sure since it's not my first language and well you didn't exactly phrase an explicit thought

    That made me think of the universe's entropy. As the entropy must increase, and the galaxies, stars and black holes holds it together, the only way the universe could maintain it is by expanding faster and faster. By expanding, the universe can maintain the expanding overall entropy. Which means that when galaxies, stars and black holes die out, it will inevitably reverse the expansion again in order to maintain entropy.

      In fact. One could even argue the hard sciences wouldn't make any sense if it was true. Since the hard sciences necessarily require us to come to an agreement on specific unfalsifiable debates before we start them. Who decided that unfalsifiable claims are not worthy of debate and on what basis? Who decided that scientific method X is superior to scientific method Y and why? Is this falsifiable empirically? No. It's a value judgment.

    I remember watching a Ken Burn’s documentary about the civil war when I was younger, maybe 11? And watching it really cemented in me the importance of journaling as a way of keeping record for future generations. I’ve been an avid journaled ever since. I go chunks of time where I don’t journal, but every time something historically significant happens I journal about it and even include new paper clippings and photos if I can. I also use my journal to paint and draw as well. I hope someone in the future finds my journals and can get some kind of idea of what life was like when I was alive.

      It's very hard to track names especially if your family immigrated after the world wars. They changed ethnic names on paper to make names "American". So polish, Italian, German, Russian surnames got shortened or all the way changed upon entrance to the United States. It's not as easy as you think because it's like the entire family history disappeared once they came.
