YouTube transcript can be reformatted at textformatter.ai. I've already done it (took three chunks), but won't post it because it'll just get deleted.

I heard a funny at prayer breakfast today. A man told his pastor that his doctor just told him a had but a year to live. The preacher told him to marry a widow with seven children since it would be the longest year of his life!

“””A man told his pastor that his doctor just told him a had but a year to live. The preacher told him to marry a widow with seven children since it would be the longest year of his life!”””

I know this guy. Doctor told him he had 6 months to live.
He couldn’t pay his bill. Doctor gave him another 6 months.

Veritasium is a great channel. In fact, most of the EduTube channels are high quality and even suitable for home schooling your own children. Far superior to the dreck they get in public schools.

In the absense of heat there will be no movement of matter and therefore no time.

Heck if I know, but my guess is that there have been, are, and will be endless cycles of dispersal of matter and energy, then maximum concentration, then Big Bangs, rinse and repeat. Human brains and minds evolved under an infinistestimal portion of time and environmental conditions, leaving us structurally incapable of fully comprehending most things, or even conceiving of them as things to be comprehended. It’s frustrating that we can’t get beyond our limits, but there it is...
