I like to illustrate this "holy fuck" feeling with unix time

32-bit unix time (that is, a number incrementing every second up to 2^32 [well, signed but it doesn't matter])

can keep going for ~140 years. this is the "year 2038 problem" when 32-bit timestamps roll over
-
a 64-bit number (that is, 32 additional doublings past the first 32) can cover ~580 billion years
-
so what you're saying is .... there's a chance
