Although I readily admit ignorance in the scientific arena, I’m suspicious when they say they can pinpoint the current age of the universe to 13.7 billion years. That seems rather precise.
If you look back at figures that have been given in the past, that number has always been moving. Last I heard it was 12 billion. Either way, it looks like I still have some time to get my laundry done.
Well, .7 billion is still a very large number of years. Would you feel better about the accuracy if they said 13,700 million years? 3 significant figures isn’t terribly accurate in scientific terms.
Cameron, by the time 30 billion years roll by, what’s left of you that’s left to be gotten won’t be worth getting, however much of you there is left to get. Physically, of course.
So you might want to reconsider having “plenty of time.” ;)

Shoot, I have plenty of time to get married. No pressure.
