What is the worst possible place to spend an eternity of solitude in, if you are immortal.

Title says it all...

I would think being immortal would be the greatest torment on its own. Infinite existence would mean no action or emotion would have value. An eternity, during which we would exhaust every pleasure we could imagine until the point where it means nothing. You don't need to add anything for immortality to be the worst possible torture.

I am sorry but I disagree. I will spend eternity with Jesus, and that will not be torture. It will be a happy place to be.

That did not dispute me. My contention is that the value of actions and emotions cannot exist if they are not finite. If we have the option to explore a scenario while immortal, we don't lose any opposing scenario to act as a frame of reference if you will. Heaven would undoubtably be the most vile form of torture imaginable: a stage of existence in which joy is impossible and end is never obtainable.

You could add a little pain?

in a void with no light and no ability to move, without being able to touch or taste or smell, hearing only the sound of a baby crying and screaming.

- or -

(if you grant states of mind as places) fealing extreme guilt and remorse without the capacity for deviation to any other kind of thought.

hearing only the sound of a baby crying and screaming.

That would be horrible. I read in an article how the sound of a baby crying naturally gives your brain a feeling of despair.

I'd say that the worst place would be a rat infested cave, if you've a fear of 'em. Trapped in the darkness, no hope of escape for all of eternity, and surrounded by the most horrid creatures imaginable: rats, bats, and creepy-crawlies of all kinds!

That said, I don't think I'd mind too badly the solitude for the first thousand or so years if I were trapped in, say, the Bodleian or the Vatican Library.

Stuck at the bottom of the Mariana Trench O:

It's like all of your worst nightmares about being lost at sea but combined. (Water pressure is so bad in there that each inch of water weighs TONNES. And it is deeper than Mount Everest is high)

Hell is the worst possible place to spend eternity .

too non-descript. I wouldnt mind being in hell, seems like its just a place. You need to describe what happens, why it would be the worst. saying hell is almost the same as saying - standing next to a tree is the worst place to spend eternity.

At least it would be suffering together and not alone :D

Getting pulled in within the perimeter of the Sun's powerful gravity- and being hauled through miles of searing plasma and straight into the core, where you would spend an eternity of pain, deep within the crushing center of the Sun.
