Decay of the universe needs to be moved from 10^100 years into the future to 10^78 years.

Very interesting. That press release is oversimplifying it, though. The actual study goes into more detail and includes processes beyond 10^78, e.g. decay of dark matter halos.

Still, worth updating our timeline page and including these.

Wanting male pregnancy doesn't automatically turn you into a better person

Wanting warp drives doesn't automatically turn you into a better person!
Wanting anti-aging doesn't automatically turn you into a better person!
Wanting bioprinting doesn't automatically turn you into a better person!
Wanting fusion doesn't automatically turn you into a better person!

But hell it makes you a person with the choice to do so!

Ash trees will have been wiped out by 2032.
Newer studies suggest the dieback is reduced to 50% at least on the European level. The Britain-specific article I found is behind a paywall. The following article from 2024

and the cited study:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-08825-6 The study is from 2022
