If humans end up existing at 10^77 years. You would hope and imagine that they would be prepared for the decay?

Well, that's only 10% of the way there, so they'd still have most of the time left.

It would be the great-great-great-... Actually, there aren't enough electrons in this system to encode all the great-s needed to express the name of the generation.

I'm all for thinking of the children, but planning at that range is probably impossible.
