That's the way it should be here and now.

Remember that over-the-top "When The Sun Dies" speech from Babylon 5?:
"Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million
years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens,
it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu, Einstein,
Morobuto, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes .. and all of this .. all of this
was for nothing unless we go to the stars."
I keep seeing this calendar:
"1,825,387,238,312 days to Red Giant!
Waste anything but time!" :-)
