What kind of immortality are we talking here? Do I live FOREVER forever? Will I be floating in the void, suffocating eternally but unable to die, long after the heat death of the universe? Or is it like, vampire-type immortality where there are rules and I can be killed in some specific way?

As long as my body is indestructible and I couldn’t get sick or maimed I’d choose immortality. Yeah isolation alone at the end of the universe would suck but not after a few years. But also there is no telling the kind of beauty you would be able to witness

By in 20 years do we mean in the year 2045 (guaranteed) or just within 2025-2045?

Yes, I cant wait to die abruptly. Final destination style would be a bonus, Life made.

So the options are: 1. A quadrillion years or so of fun (best case) followed by isolation torture for the rest of eternity 2. 20 more years of normal life

Key word eternity No matter how much fun you have in those quadrillions of years, those years will eventually be outnumbered by the amount of time you spend suffering horribly, unable to die or do anything to help yourself

Yup. The choice is obvious. And a quadrillion years is the best case scenario, assuming humanity creates a spacefaring civilization until heat death. Your torture could start much sooner. Say a nuclear war breaks out. Your city is hit, you don’t die. But you’re buried under a city’s worth of rubble now. Good luck getting out from under that within ten thousand years.

Have you read the invisible life of Addie larue? Bc I can kinda see where you’re coming from but that book alone makes just a couple hundred years sound exhausting from loneliness
