I’m pretty sure you would go very crazy alone in a chair for 4 billion years

How high are you right now?
Yes.
Officer, im pretty sure its “hi how are you right now”
"This indica's had me indacouch for like...a thousand years, maaaan"
Hell no. The odds of me retaining my sanity after 4 billion years of isolation are zero to none.
If it’s in realtime, not even for unlimited money.
Hey, not fair! Last time you offered a billion dollars!
This might provide a fix for those interested
4.5 billion years in an hour by Kurzgesagt
I doubt any of us could sit in a chair doing nothing for even 1 day without becoming restless without phones or other distractions. 4 billion years? Your brain would be mush. You'd have long forgotten your own name or even the concept of money.
Only if sped up, and I can pause, go back, or forth. I can't speed up to instantly go to today though, obviously.
But like, 100,000 years per second? Sure.
Even at 100,000 years per second for only part of the time—I guess how much you’re allowed to use it really matters—would still be a fucking loooong ass time. From nothing to now? You’re not just talking about the time life first appeared on earth. From the Big Bang, through to the creation of earth, through to the dawn of life, to current day? like honestly 99% of the time you’d literally be watching grass grow or dust float. In the grand scheme of your relative time, anything halfway interesting would be literally a blink of an eye.
And in the end, all you get is 1,000,000. You come back to earth and still have to work for most of the rest of your life…you’d come back to earth and even if you never touched that money, and put it straight into retirement, you wouldn’t even have enough money in retirement lol In no way is that possibly close to being worth it.
Heck yeah! I'd even do it for free
Just gimme that chance
Can I interact with people from the past, can I use a portion of the money in relativistic currencies?
Aka, I have some things I want to purchase for keepsake while travelling.
As an introvert, I would say yes.
Sounds like a time machine. I'd love a time machine.
