This. I started using Arc and didn't look back. Now it will probably die a silent death. I'm looking at the Zen browser now. It's close, but it's definitely not there yet.

From the summary:

around 10^78 years, rather than 10^1100

and later:

The researchers calculated that the end of the universe is about 1078 years away, if only Hawking-like radiation is taken into account. This is the time it takes for white dwarf stars, the most persistent celestial bodies, to decay via Hawking-like radiation.
