The universe is going to be around for a long time, but humans will likely not be around for the vast majority of it. This clock, built with logic gates within Minecraft, ticks the eons away via exponentially increasing "pulses", culminating in the opening of a door around the time the universe will reach thermodynamic equilibrium -- when time itself will die, and every moment will be like every other that will follow.

    I like it. He kinda, conveniently failed to mention what fantabulous invention he created to keep his minecraft hardware/software indefinitely running whilst all this was going on, and who was going to watch the door open. But hey, assumptions are assumed. Everyone forgets the "plus an infinite number of constants" from the good old E=mc^2 theory...
