Public Universal Friend

01The last stars will burn out in approximately 100 trillion years; after that, only stellar corpses remain for quadrillions more.
02Black hole evaporation via Hawking radiation means a stellar-mass black hole takes 10^67 years to vanish — the longest countdown in physics.
03In heat death, entropy is maximized: no information can be processed, meaning no thought, computation, or memory is physically possible anywhere.

After a near-death fever in 1776, the Public Universal Friend declared the person born Jemima Wilkinson had died and only a genderless spiritual vessel remained — then gathered thousands of followers across colonial New England and founded a settlement in upstate New York.
