New Yes, but if we switch to 64-bit time...
...will we still make the same idiot mistake and make time signed?

"No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT...there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer.

Believe."

Of course, that'll only leave us

292,277,024,583 (292 Billion, 277 Million, 24 Thousand, 583) years to correct it and go to 128bit non-signed time...

Considering the universe is only supposedly ~15 billion years old... I think the heat death of the universe is more likely.
