"2^1E80 approx. - As there are only about 1E80 particles in the observable universe, it has by now become impossible to write the date"

Reminded me of Wikipedia's Timeline of the Far Future [1].

Funny how the article starts with that the predicted future "can never be absolutely certain". As long as the weather forecast stays as reliable as it is today I wouldn't trust most predictions for next week. The far future is very likely drastically different from how we imagine.

"20??-??-?? ??? - Introduction of the Euro in the UK ??? "

At least it was non-committal.

Hey, it committed to a specific century. Given how long it took the UK to decimalize and, therefore, decimalise the pound, that's pretty ambitious.

Anyone else notice his hostile tone in the copyright/license text.

Some of this sort of belongs on Wikipedia.

You can re-phrase it and use that anywhere. It's only the text that's copyrighted, the information in it is freely usable.
