    Look guys, unless it’s gonna end in the next century - or even million years - does it really matter? I mean I could die if a heart attack or tripping down the stairs, but statistically speaking, probably not today, so I’m not really concerned with it.

        Considering the random branches of science that have gone into making better hard drives, I’d be willing to put money on ‘understanding dark energy’ => ‘higher density data storage’ as one benefit of the tech.

        But yeah, we understand more things, we’re in a better position to understand even more things, and some have applications you benefit from every day.

      I’m not worried about the event happening soon, I am worried about the research not being settled within my lifetime. It’d be really fun to know! Or at least have some idea of what will happen. I’m curious :)
