Cool video 
However, I think it is important to recognize the profound uncertainty involved in forecasting the future of the universe. I wouldnât be surprised if the video contained more than one million assumptions (all of them potentially wrong) about space, time, astronomy, physics, etc. And trillion+ year time scales heavily overfit our current models.
Slightly modifying a passage from the BrahmajÄla-sutta. . . 
When those scientists and philosophers theorize about the past and the future [ . . . ], that too is conditioned by contact.

The timescale and distances involved are literally unimaginable, though also awe-inspiring. I remember the first time I saw Andromeda through a telescope, it was just a small smudge but I knew it was a vast galaxy like our own.

I like the way this EBT describes the phases of an âeonâ, with timescales of up to hundreds of thousands of years.
