I wonder sometimes if before the Big Bang there was a whole era of quark-gluon plasma, including fast-living sapients, some of whom warned of the impending phase change. But their concerns were ignored because it wouldn't happen until far in the future - several attoseconds! Who cares!

@jef Yep, we're clearly living in the dim, chilly heat-death phase of the universe, uncountable quadrillions of nanoseconds after the inflationary phase ended, nucleons began to condense, and all the myriad sentient species of the early cosmos met their doom at the end of the electroweak epoch.

I believe the actual science calls such statements unfalsefiable bullshit that is no better than astrology, and people who proliferate them are pretentious clowns
