Thanks for this summation.

Maybe we can divide item 7. to "our universe apocalypse" and "everything that (physically) exists apocalypse." since the two might not be equal.

Of course, there might be things that exist necessarily and thus cannot be "apocalypsed out", and it also would be strange if the principle that brought our universe to existence can only operate once.

So while it might be possible to have a Multiverse apocalypse, I think that there will always be something (physical) existing (but I don't know if this thought really can comfort us if we get wiped out...)

By the way, how do you (up)vote here?

Cheers

The upvote for comments is in the lower left of the comment. The upvote for posts is harder to find: It's at the bottom left of the post, above the text box for commenting.

Also, there could be a rule where only accounts with positive karma (ie, not brand-new accounts) can upvote. I'm not sure.

(Slow response because i am also learning site features: Didn't see the 'letter' icon under my karma score.)

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I think you're right and I still don't have enough karma points.

Well, I guess I will have to owe you an upvote in the meantime...

Thanks
