    More like trillions of years. As a secular person, I do still hold out hope for the idea of some kind of afterlife. Like maybe this is a simulation or something like that, and we’ll get to be reunited with all our loved ones and continue to exist, explore and try new things, read all the books that have ever been written, watch all the movies and TV shows, play all the games, visit areas throughout history that you could’ve never seen while alive, talk to all the famous people throughout history who’ve lived and died - you get the point - up until we tire of existence itself and commit ourselves back to the universal fold. Basically, the setting of the Good Place, once it was turned into the actual Good Place. I really hope for something like that, because going back to nonexistence bums me out, even if by definition we cannot experience it.
