An Inventory of Affects (ix). At what point do you become concerned? In roughly one trillion, trillion, trillion years, the expansion of the universe will obliterate all matter, including the galaxies, planets, and all forms of life... In approximately 4.5 trillion years, the sun will die out, leaving behind a cold and uninhabitable earth... In one billion years the Earth's oceans will dry out due to rising temperatures... Given projected increases in global population and projected decreases in resources, the human species could become extinct by the year 3000... The average human life span is eighty-six years... Next week, you have plans...
