To put this in perspective, a million has six zeros (1,000,000), a trillion has 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000), and a quadrillion has 15 zeros (1,000,000,000,000,000). It’s important to keep in mind that these are all incredibly large numbers and can be difficult to comprehend...

It would take trillions or potentially even quadrillions of years for a black dwarf to form. The Universe itself is only 13.8 billion years old today, which means that even the oldest stars are still in the early stages of the white dwarf phase. By the time the first black dwarf forms,...

Step 5: After trillions of years or more, the sun will become a black dwarf wing-wing/Shutterstock With no more nuclear fusion occurring, a white dwarf cannot generate any energy. All that's left is for the residual heat left in the core to dissipate.If a white dwarf cools completely, ...
If your definition of aligned requires that you personally (or humanity as a whole) survives the singularity, then I wouldn't put too many eggs in this basket. Even if Kant is right and a sufficiently rational AI would treat us kindly, we might get wiped out by an insufficiently...
