The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 1078 years to perish. That is much shorter than the previously postulated 101100 years.
I’m playing this too, and I’m not sure how close I am to finishing it. It feels like the progress gets slower the longer you play and I don’t have any obvious options open anymore. I guess I have to visit some places again and see if I missed something.
Kinda in the same boat as you. Such a strange game. I’m loving it though.
