According to Doctor Who, the end of the universe occurs 100 trillion
years in the future, more or less from now:
100,000,000,000,000 in US numbers
or 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 in proper British numbers
BUT, scientists have recently recalculated when the end of the universe
will occur, and it is much earlier than they had previously calculated.
The universe will end in 1 quinvigintillion (a one followed by 78
zeros) years from now:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in US numbers
(Significantly more zeros in British numbers, but I don't know how many.)
The Doctor Who writers were only out by a "small" amount. ;-)
Of course, the Earth will be long long long gone by then - the Sun will
swallow the Earth in a measley 7.59 billion years from now.
