I have no idea what that is but the concept of the multiverse and possibly traveling between universes is an extremely old idea. This is just modernizing it to include the heat death of the universe

If it makes you feel better, if ideas about multiple universes end up being real, it’s possible a sufficiently advanced species might be able to “hop” universes and escape heat death that way
That’s more a technicality vs practicality aspect. Even if we technically don’t have free will, the way our minds work make us feel like we have free will. The “accept it” aspect of the argument is appealing to us feeling like we make our own decisions, even if ultimately we didn’t actually make the choice to accept it.

No but strongman rhetoric makes people feel safer when their lives become increasingly perilous and uncertain, so we’re likely going to see it more often. It’s unfortunate but it’s kind of like a positive feedback loop of assholes making things worse for the people, which makes the people more desperate and open to the rhetoric that led to their worsening state.
Weebs will take any chance they can get to name something with a japanese or other asian language’s word, true (isekai/portal fantasy, anyone?), but in this particular case “umami” became popularized because it was a japanese scientist that confirmed it was an actual basic flavor. Origin of research and not weeb culture is what put umami on the english map.
Neutral good originally, but I find lawful evil to be faaaaarrr better. Tilting my head up or down for extended periods feels a lot better than turning left or right
Though it’s important to note that factors of safety are always incorporated into structural designs, in case higher loads/wear/etc than expected occur
Ahhh my bad, googling him I don’t think I’ve heard of him or his works before (aside from announcements of three body problem getting a show), but it’s possible I picked up the idea through osmosis somewhere. Yea it’s so far off that it doesn’t really matter, but it definitely helps with that ultimate feeling of nihilism that thinking about the heat death can bring along.
