You wish to be driven crazy? Try this on, it is the opposite, about eternity, just as mind boggling a concept, something a Jesuit once told us in class:
Imagine a mountain ten times higher and massive as Everest. Every ten thousand years a small bird comes there to sharpen its beak on the mountain. By the time the whole mountain has been eroded by that small bird's beak, not even one second of eternity will have passed.
Contemplate that and then try to fall restfully asleep at night, I dare you ... ha ha
Not to be driven crazy at all.
This is not a problem at all for a person based in reality; knowing full well from very young years that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that ever lived, WILL DIE. This should NOT be kept a secret from children.
Eternity is an interesting concept. Astrophysicists have estimated the lifespan of the universe (not its present age) to be approximately 10^100 years (not a typo). (10, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000) At that point, the the universe that started as a superdense mass of heat and energy will die a cold, sparce, and scattered, completely dark, energy-less death where nothing happens; and nothing keeps happening FOREVER.
