<pre>Maybe it is true that given arbitrarily much time, we could keep finding
new fun somewhere, finding new and interesting things to learn. But we
might not be able to do that. After a certain period of time, we might
conclude that OK, we have lived enough. When we stop learning,
thinking, growing, we are the functional equivalent of dead, even if we
still draw breath and our hearts still beat. Perhaps 50 million years
at one human equivalent speed is sufficient to reach that end point.
But of course we don't know that. It would be equivalent to six million
consecutive human lives, so we have no way to comprehend what that
would be like.

Six hundred thousand, unless the average human lifespan is 8.3
years. Or my calculator is badly misbehaving.<br>

So, ten times more comprehensible. Or 10 x less incomprehensible.<br>

Hm, No Way / 10 = Still no way.<br>
