Humans will either have been long long gone for billions of years by that point or interstellar and evolved well beyond whatever we can comprehend that it won't matter

Surprised they didn't move the goalpost to 50 years to cause utter chaos.

My seven year old recently had an existential crisis about this. I was putting him to bed when he started crying. I asked what what was wrong? And he asked what happens when the sun expands and swallows the earth? I was like, "buddy, that's something you don't need to worry about for five billion years." He then spiraled into what happens when we get to the heat death of the universe. Like, frick, the questions we're asked as parents on a random Tuesday.

Well, I probably won't be here in 5-billion years, but I hope my grandkids don't suffer!

Only God decides this, and I'm willing to say that it will be far less time than any scientist given the depravity of the world.
