The universe is dying

Astronomers studying more than 200,000 galaxies have measured the energy generated within a large portion of space more precisely than ever before. This represents the most comprehensive assessment of the energy output of the nearby Universe. They confirm that the energy produced in a section of the Universe today is only about half what it was two billion years ago and find that this fading is occurring across all wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the far infrared. The Universe is slowly dying.
"The Universe will decline from here on in, sliding gently into old age. The Universe has basically sat down on the sofa, pulled up a blanket and is about to nod off for an eternal doze," concludes Simon Driver.

Entropy has been known about for a long time now.

God wouldn't let the universe die, because He would die right?

Duh

So we can measure the universe's energy expenditure at some point in time in the past, and somehow measure the universe's energy expenditure billions of years before that?
I call bullshite.

Heat death is kind of an inevitability with the Second Law of Thermodynamics being what it is, assuming the universe is a closed system.

I wish it would hurry up and keel. This earth has become a shitty place to be.

So...How long do we have?

It's probably watching a Walking Dead marathon.

I wonder how long until Al Gore makes a movie and starts coming up with ways to tax us for this.

Maybe so, but what is beyond the universe? 
Posted on 8/11/15 at 8:48 am to LSU1NSEC
All of this has happened before....and all of this will happen again.

Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain.

Topics like this make me want to day drink. I look for any reason to day drink though so, cheers.

We can measure the universe accurately but can't forecast the weather for tomorrow more than 50% of time?

The universe smokes pot
