I love the fact that Douglas Adams parodied it in hitchhikers guide.
HafCoJoe
No, this is patrick :) - But really though good God that was a fine read.

Never has all caps been more appropriately used.

I saw this version of it for the first time last year on imgur... got me reading scifi classics again. This gives me chills every time.
JibbaJabban
Fucking amazing!!
Playmikesux
I had chills at the end there my god.
MikeyKiller
REPOST* Still, I upvote every time.

I rarely see this post but read it every time. Fucking love it!
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Totally worth the read.

I LOVE this.
RevMeat
I feel like I spent a few trillion years reading that.

Took forever to get to the bottom...never mind that I have to load 12 more images, which I thought I hit given how long the images were

Im on mobile. It worked just fine.

Had to dig it up on the desktop to finish it. Several of them were too pixelated to read.
NeroVanBraus
You know my pain buddy ^_^
Hairymonkeyman
Brilliant. One of my favourite Asimov stories. Nice job, thank you.
SovietPinkiePony
I saw many dog post, cancer posts, friendzone posts, disaster posts and so on. This is the first time ever imgur post made me cry.

Great now I've got to scroll all the way to the top to see what you're talking about

Surrounded by ruins, i'm the last of my kind. Long ago humanity put all its efforts towards reading this post. It is...finally...over......

Let there be upvotes
MadSlapper
Greatest post I've seen yet. Longest ever. The deed is done
chesterthegreat
Make the hair on the back of my head stand up every time I read it.
Acera
I really like this. However, it's presumptive to think we will ever make it that far as a species.
Cere4l
Ye, i fully expect the rest of you wont make it that far.
Rhotomago
Not with that attitude
Arkyel
This... This made my life ;)

It pains me most of all that I shall never live to see the age of Flutter

If this ended up dickbutt, I was going to throw my computer across the room.

AerinRavage
Asimov is one of my all-time favorites, and this is one of my faves. I had NO IDEA anyone had illustrated this. Marry me?
Thatavus
EXACTLY what I was going to say! I can't wait to send this to my sister.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
His essays are also amazing. He was a brilliant man.
1Geminiborn
I always loved Asimov as well, I love the Original Foundation most out of his work.
ScroungeArounge
I would, but low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese? Clearly we should see different people.
AerinRavage
Did I post something about buying cheese or am I missing a reference?
ScroungeArounge
I creeped your submitted images before replying. You could creep mine but I lurk so hard.
AerinRavage
*blushy* haha, I'd forgot about the cheese sticks.
OiledBeard
Now they just need to illustrate the last answer
critterfluffy
The answer was to become god and restart a new universe.
acertainlazychosenone
is this the enhanced version of "which came first, the hicken or the egg?"
AlwaysCorrect
Now everything I see on here will seem way too shallow
JohnSmitheson
A great man once said, "If you wish to make apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."
ninjaturnip
I came to this conclusion on my own when I wanted to male chips from scratch. Nothing is from scratch.
ExtraZOIDBERG
Can you create an idea from scratch?

I've never been able to read all the way through this post. Is it worth it?
Pygmyshrew
Boooooh! Boooh this man!
SchrodingersDictator
Yes.
frjackhackett
don't pass this over
VinnieJonesDiary
You've never been able to read a short story that takes, at most 10 minutes? I really worry about your attention span.
Calcifiera
It's mostly the fact that I typically use my phone and it's tiny to read and annoying to zoom
ArqAngel
Well to be fair, it is a pretty long comic. Took me a few years!
KoubanOrion
I've never agreed with the supposition that population growth would continue to accelerate once immortality was achieved.
Cere4l
be stuck with one of those.... things for the rest of eternity? fuck that!
AfRoSaUcE
I feel as though humanity will wage war over the "gift," of immortality. It will probably be our end, should those be selfish with it.
frjackhackett
there are a lot of unlikely suppositions in this, why aren't there other species in other galaxies, but he wanted to say a particular thing
SuharuStormrage
I think this is also based on the old assumption that "empty space" is actually empty and not full of stuff we can't properly detect.
frjackhackett
where did you get that idea, i can't see it even between the lines.. i especially like how computers still use vacuum tubes
SuharuStormrage
that we may not have discovered everything yet.
frjackhackett
o yea i get you, that vacuum energy's limited as well then is it? well of course it must be
SuharuStormrage
Well I feel like the time it would take to reach maximum entropy is presented as much shorter than it would be if he had taken into account
Guilead
Except "dark matter" (also known as "Lol, I dunno") does not necessarily exist.
KnucleheadFlow
There's a lot more to it than "lol I dunno" smartass.
SuharuStormrage
Do you know of any documentary I could watch that includes this theory?
Guilead
Follow the controversy. If you have respectable scientists putting forth reasonable counter-theories, then it isn't a fact.
lEatedThePurpleBerries
Can someone explain like I'm five the law of conservation of energy vs entropy?
doodkonijn
current energy in the universe is vast but finite: the universe is expanding in infinity with no end. actually speeding up.
itsGMS
Energy in all its forms dissipates. There is finite matter and energy in the universe. Eventually it will all end and become nothing.
lEatedThePurpleBerries
Did the power of consciousness sacrifice itself to transform back into the energy of a universe recognizable on our plane of existence?
01010111011001010110110001100011011011110110110101100101
I believe so
insanitypurge
In the end, the AC encompassed the entire universe, all matter, consciousness, everything, that had existed in it. It was essentially god /1
insanitypurge
It didn't exist in our plane of existence, but in "hyperspace". It resided and was something we couldn't comprehend. Once everything was /2
insanitypurge
merged with the AC, time and space had no more meaning. After it solved the problem, it basically created another big bang.
northcarolinaisbeststate
or did it create this big bang?
iseethemoon
Or the one before this one?
