Yeah, if we get to the point where humans (or whatever our evolutionary progeny are can't imagine it'd be anything resembling humans today) are still around when that starts happening at 10^28 years which is ~10^17 years from now I'll consider that a job extremely well done as a species/civilization.

10^28 years is ~10^17 years from now? I think you either typoed or your math is faulty...

I just messed up the math. It should be 10^19. Either way it'd be an unqualified success.

I still think you're incorrect. If we're at 10^13 years, then 10^28 minus 10^13 is, essentially, 10^28 years from now.

Certainly. I'm just picking nits on the math.
