I give you a cozy chair and you are now going to watch the beginning of earth til today with all your senses. You won’t age, everything freezes. But once you reach this minute you will get a million dollars.
All you have to do is watch earth form from nothing to how it is now in this minute and then you will come down to earth with a million dollars and nothing changed.
Yes or no? You will see things nobody has ever seen and you can watch the dinos if you get to that point after a few million years. I will give you a chair and binoculars
The market value of watching the world form seems to have dropped since yesterday.
500k or 1 million aren’t enough. It would be a difficult transition from observing the world, to participating in it. I would basically need to receive enough to comfortably retire.
No amount of money would make me want to endure that torture. Most of earth’s history is just absolutely nothing. Apart from a few asteroid strikes, Cambrian explosion is about as exciting as things can get, and even that is just 100 million years of barely anything happening.
I don’t want to sit down and see how moss forms over millions of years.
Why would you not want that?
