Hello.
This is Amy from the Philippines and my question
is does forever exist?
I’m pretty sure a lot of people in my country
would like to know the answer to this very
important question so I hope you can answer
it.
Thank you.
Amy, does forever exist?
As far as I know.
It’s really hard to tell.
Here’s the question I’m just inferring.
I’m reading in.
I’m adding.
You say people in your country want to know
– is it a question really Amy about the
afterlife?
I don’t know if it is in the afterlife.
I certainly am not planning on it.
I am not counting on any afterlife.
And I’ll tell you why.
I’ve watched people get old and they don’t
generally – they don’t just die with all
their – at the height of their powers, able
to pole vault their highest, able to do math
problems the quickest, able to raise a family
with just the right judgment.
They don’t do that and then disappear.
We humans fade and I suspect the afterlife
is just hopeful thinking.
And if it turns out there is an afterlife,
cool, I’m in.
I will do my best.
I’d like to be able to run as well as I
could when I was say 23.
I’d like to be able to ride a bike as well
as I could when I was 34.
And I’d like to be able to write jokes as
well as I could when I was about 38.
And then now I have all this wisdom.
I’d like to have that sprinkled in now I’m
all this wise stuff.
But as far as we can tell forever goes on
forever.
There’s no reason to think that time will
end.
We had a Big Bang and people speculate about
what happened before that.
And you can say nobody knows.
That’s true.
But just intuitively for us time travelers
all going one way, I guess left to right,
it’s like that.
There probably is a forever.
That’s a great question Amy.
Thank you.
