Days are numbered. But how long does the Universe last?
There is a set of Kabbalah rules, based on some passages of the Bible , that lead us to establish with some certainty what the overall duration of this Universe will be. This duration is 17,897,446,000 solar years, approximately.
There would be seven Shemittòt, each lasting 7,000 years, yes, but "divine", and the conversion factor is hidden in Psalm 90. Official science speaks of 18 billion years badly counted before the total entropy that will bring the universe to be a dead, cold and empty shell. The Kabbalah is there as precise as those of the mask. We currently live in the Sixth Shemittah of the seven total, the last in which there will be real activity in the Universe which will be followed by a Sabbath Rest that will lead to the inevitable final collapse. For official science we are in fact, in agreement, in the course of the 13th (,2) billion years from the Big Bang.
Rav Aryeh Kaplan spilled all this to us at a conference of rabbis in 1979, speaking about the real meaning of the story of the Universe created in Six Days. (The Seventh rested.) Now you will say: “yes, okay, but he was an Orthodox rabbi...”. True. Unfortunately for us, Rav Aryeh Kaplan was also an astrophysicist who graduated from MIT in Boston with honors.
Let's hold on with confidence, and remember that if we don't manage to beat Covid, and the politicians who live and thrive on it, within 4.75 billion years, then the Universe will take care of extinguishing us all anyway, assuming that in the meantime the 5 Star Movement will have resolved with Toninelli the minor detail of the transformation of the Sun into a white dwarf.
It was to instill some optimism.
However, since this is an 11-string Multiverse, the whole party going on will continue in the other remaining strings, waiting for the Creator to have the work done and rent the present universe to the Chinese for use as a workshop, who will fill it like an egg with people producing motherboards, 19 hours a day, for less than 8 euros each.
However, this also confirms, if there was any need, that when you have nothing better to do and read than the good old Bible, it is confirmed to be a compelling read, full of secrets and wonders, provided you know how to read it. Contrary to what some say, who with "...let's pretend that" end up making you believe you saw the Anunnaki on a plasma flying saucer flying over your great-grandfather's ziggurat, right in the orange zone.
Everything and more in my next book coming out.
