In 7.6 billion years, the sun expands, the drag from the earth colliding with the outer layer of the sun will slow it down, and it will crash and burn. So, if predictions are right, a computer on the earth will never see the end of this counter. Enjoy!

    I think that humanity will not even survive to year 2500 , but who knows, just my opinion

    Oh yes, chances are we'll be long gone from the earth by then, but it's nice to be dramatic!

    *Will* you say. But how can they determine THAT when we have not been able to simulate sustained nuclear fusion of hydrogen (such as present in the sun) on Earth, and thusly we are not sure exactly how it works. We also *assume* that everything will remain exactly the same in space, ignoring completely that there may be outside interferance, or sufficient advancement on earth to evade or even counteract this event if it ever comes to pass

    My maths is: This counter has 60 bits. The total number it can count to is 2^60, or 1.2*10^18, I left it to count to 1024 at 60 FPS, and counted that it counts 3.72 numbers a second, so it should finish in ~3.72/10^18, or ~3*10^17. Not *certain* my maths is right, but I'm fairly sure

    look, the sun will take like 4 billion years befor it beggins to go into the red giant phase, and one year is already somthing probably like 10^2 (ik, im bad at math) and if i am correct (probably compleatly wrong), it will not even be a billion years!

    I'll admit my knowledge of the end of the earth is appallingly absent, but according to wikipedia, the drag from the chromosphere of the sun as it expands will provide enough drag to slow the earth so that it collides with the sun. Doesn't really matter anyway, it'll be a toasty ride ;)
