      History would be summarized in large sections. Our current history will fit one one page and be taught the same way how we teach the existence of cavemen to young children.
      There's a sci-fi series that is really cool called the Saga of the Seven suns. One of the races, the Ildirans, have a history of over a million years. They have people who spend their career and life studying their history, but the rest of the population just gets the soap notes version.

    I've always found it interesting that sci-fi writers usually only go, at most, a few hundred years into the future. None that I know of has gone as far as Wells did for The Time Machine, which went to the year 800,000. I think people, even the most imaginative, find it impossible to imagine that far ahead in time. I've always had a special appreciation for Wells, being willing to go so far ahead and imagine a world so incredibly different than today's.

      You know, thats a great point. Dont think ive ever heard of a good sci fi go more then hundreds of yrs.
      Well...except all tommorows but i dunno how to classify that one. It goes through millenias but reads more like a fiction history book or biography rather then a sci fi story.
      I mean, we have trouble relating to things that are decades or even yrs apart nevermind thousands of years. There would be no familiarity or grounding in our reality that it would be a jarring read.
      Unless a really good writer somehow manages to integrate far future with familiarity somehow and have it be both beliable enough and interesting.

    What I like to think about is that the world or our star have already ended billions and billions of years ago and we're just repeating the process over and over again.
    Think about it, everything will end and only nothing will remain. Remember the big bang and how it created the universe from nothing? Well what if that just keeps happening like a long long long loop of events that never ever end.

      I recently saw a clip of Sir Roger Penrose. He put it that if there is nothing left in the entire universe, it's size will no longer matter (pun intended). Filled with nothing, there is no way to tell whether it's gargantuously large, or infinitessimally small. Also, because there is nothing, there will be no events taking place. So effectively, time would no longer exist.
      I found that a very interresting idea.

      You realise that makes no sense right? The strength of the hurricane has nothing to do with having woods in its path nor is it a good barometer of its strength. Not all trees are the same, have the same soil and root system keeping it in the groumd. Especially forests and jungles which a hurricane will struggle to do anything to. Its why you never hear of things like cyclones, tsunamis or tornadoes doing much to forests. Its way too intertwined that only the loose or weak will get blown around, broken or uprooted.

    Bear with me in my sci-fi world for a minute here. But I imagine, somehow, humans prevailing through the end of one universe and the creation of the next and being able to tell the tale to the new universe about their old universe and pass on what we have left. Imagine that. This would be an unimaginable amount of time so it'd be hard to comprehend, but that poses another problem of when your history is so vast, how do you possibly begin to select the important history unless you can simply download information to yourself now? Anyhow, if we could somehow find a way to live past this universe / find a new universe / see the creation of a new universe and then find new intelligent life to share this information with, that would be quite interesting. Eventually, I imagine such informaiton would continue to pass down through universe to universe.

      Doubling is very powerful. Each bit in a binary number represents double the quantity of the next. 8-bit binary numbers aren't much use on their own. You can't use an 8-bit number to give the size of an apple in millimeters. Keep doubling and things get interesting. Working out what numbers I might need for a space simulation game, I found 64 bits -- 48 doublings past 8 bits -- is enough to measure out the entire span of Pluto's orbit with room to spare at 1 micrometer resolution. 128 bits -- 64 more doublings -- is enough to span the local group of galaxies to 0.3 attometer resolution!

Maybe we could even master total control of reality and bend physics' laws completely, to the point we would be able to reverse entropy, avoid vacuum decay of the space, and be impossible to go extinct. We would live forever and become like gods if we reach that point. There is plenty of time to do so.

Now, in my opinion, I'd love if humanity could stop begin petty long enough to find solutions to Earth's eventual demise, so we can find other places to live. It would be nice if we start by learning how to treat Earth better. Even if we do learn that though, eventually, the end of the world will legitimately arrive.

Hope that they can figure out how to be born and live lives focused around mental and emotional enrichment and growth rather than chasing imaginary numbers to make more of them for someone else. When you think about the universe as a collection of all these elements having reactions and ongoing processes, and then think about our bodies, we're literally just the universe giving life to itself and experiencing itself and no matter how we end up I think that that's pretty cool.

      There's a reason for this. There's a longstanding theory that in order to properly get enough energy to do things such as terraforming/etc you must first control the planet. This is impossible at this rate-the world would have to come under one continuous Government. Efforts towards this have seemingly been made with organizations attempting to guide Governments like NATO and the U.N., but as of yet, nothing even close to a worldwide Government is possible.
      If this is impossible than it is unlikely for a single nation to be able to gather resources enough to escape the planet before we run out of Oil (50 years) natural gas (~47 years) and technologies that would get around this are still pretty far in the making.

It's a very small part that really doesn't have much to do with the plot, but I've always loved how thought-provoking that one or two sentence line is.

      We have intelligence and technology. It can either doom us, or allow us to overcome completely the limitations of nature. It depends on us.

    We could be already on a 2nd or 3rd planet. Maybe we left Mars in the past. Maybe we've been ping ponging back n forth from earth to Mars for a while.

    If going all crazy with the theories, we could just get to the end of the universe and (properly by that time time travel would have been invented) and go back to when the universe was in its infancy🤷‍♂️
