The last four billion years of my life have been tiresome; I dread the prospect of living to a trillion!

Also in that time span I think a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda might happen.


If I have a sturdy spacecraft then maybe.


It would also be older then the universe itself, being what 14 or so billion years old.


Could you live through the big crunch and come out the other end like Galactus?

I would love to live for 200 years as long as I'm healthy and can still get around good. But, since that won't happen I just pray that I will live to be a ripe old age, maybe around a 100, be healthy and still get around good.

I wouldn't want to live past my normal life span.

Not THAT long, maybe long enough to view an extremely advanced society. That would be nice. :chin:

I am not sure I could trust myself to live that long. I would get bored and start influencing the outcomes of events until the universe preceded the way I wanted it to, and I am not really smart enough to play such a god.

for mere mortals, living an extra-long life is merely akin to being held after class in earthschool. not for me.

A trillion years seems rather long. I dont really want to be around for the end of the universe. A thousand years is good enough for me. In that time, I should be able to make a time machine, and then life wont be very boring. As long as I dont age past around 20 or so.

If my loved ones did too, and it was good living, why not? It beats the alternative.

No,I'd get bored stiff. And if humans became extinct in that time (actually it's a given that we will) I'd still be left. All alone.

I'm not sure. There's many things I would like to try and one lifetime isn't enough for all of it, but I'm sure I would get bored eventually.
