I love this article. Especially the part where, about 2 billion years after the last traces of even unicellular life on the planet has become extinct, the length of a calendar day will have to be officially adjusted, since it will then be 48 hours.

The idea of keeping bureaucracy alive much longer than our planet is human optimism at its best. Death and taxes, come Hell, high water, and the literal evaporation of Earth's oceans due to surface temperatures exceeding 1130 C.

During last year's total eclipse I learned that in the future, and not so far away, there will never be total eclipses again because the moon's orbit is slowly getting further away from our planet. Folks, enjoy those total eclipses while you can and write poetry and make films so the future humans can enjoy with a sad wonder what they could never experience.

Even better:
