When Will Time End?
Synopsis
67 years is the current global average lifespan, up from just 20 years in the Stone Age, as time continues to shape human existence.
Synopsis
Ludwig Boltzmann's theories on entropy shape the narrative of "When Will Time End?" The film discusses the evolution of human life, noting that the global average lifespan has increased from 20 years in the Stone Age to 67 years today. It situates this development within the context of Earth's 4.5 billion-year history and the universe's 13.7 billion years. The documentary questions whether entropy will ultimately dominate the cosmic cycle of birth and decay, suggesting that the universe may be part of a larger continuum.
