That's not exactly true. Sol will consume Terra in only about 3.8 billion years, which, as anyone knows, < forever. And if whoever the previous owner of the Koh-I-Noor is in fact still alive in some alternate afterlife reality, I'm sure they really couldn't care less about where it is now.

That's absurd. While it is true that studying rocks like the Koh-I-Noor *can* yield insights into the physics of matter ('this rock seems to be really hard'), *can* be useful in very serious applications (~diamond-housed beryllium atoms as qubits), and that other-dimensional "objects" *can* exist within the "objects" we can deal with (stuff passes right through the Earth all the time), it is *not true that regular-dimensional objects like that really small rock actually"contain" transcendental realities.
You've clearly never watched Star Trek. "Ship in a bottle" was the episode, I think.
Please stop deliberately spreading misinformation.
