Hope this cheers you up But we know the sun won't do that for like a billion years. Vacuum decay could happen at any moment, anywhere! As could gamma ray bursts, asteroid impacts, supervolcanoes, etc.

Kimmalah posted:I don't know about books, but there are records of people finding bog bodies in peat since at least the 17th century and probably further back than that. But usually they were given a regular burial so I'd assume they're pretty much lost by now. I've also heard of lot of them being accidentally damaged either by the people who found them or by bad attempts at preserving them outside the bog. Paper and Paint too!  See the nice brown hues in that painting? Mummies! How's that for your afterlife, King Tut?

BattleMaster posted:I'm studying nuclear engineering (4th year undergraduate) and I've found these projects to scare off future explorers to be really silly and irresponsible. They're all predicated on the idea that you'll be trying to communicate with primitive hunter-gatherers, with concepts like "no honor here" and other things like you're talking to a Klingon. I dunno, 'no honour here' works pretty well when you've got the places where we buried our 'honoured dead' or the monuments to our 'honoured pharaoh', people get that at any tech level. It just means future archaeologists will be like "It seems the people of the past had some sort of great enemy or shunned caste, lets see what their deal is."
