Listening: Otfried Preußler, Der kleine Wassermann (Hörspiel), 1:16-1:52:30 (end).
At 1:21:00 the narrator says that the moon will shine "until the end of time" (bis an das Ende der Zeiten). Here J interjected and said that he didn't believe that there would be an end of time, that "astronauts" said there would be but that he didn't think so. When I asked him if he thought the world and the universe would last forever (picking up on our discussion of Unendlichkeit from a few days ago), as some people think, he also said no. We discussed this for awhile. I told him that "until the end of time" was an expression people used usually without thinking too much about what it actually meant.
