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.
