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.

See, this is what happens when you roll out universal health care

Good, the universe was fricking stupid.

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?

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

you'd be surprised how many people don't understand entropy

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

Nah, he would just have more room to make another universe. Hopefully next time he makes one that doesn't suck.

You sound really smart. How many times have you read the Iliad?

It's probably watching a Walking Dead marathon.

I thought it was pretty well known that within one hundred trillion years, the entirety of the universe would be completely dead: devoid of all light, energy, and life. It's a pretty sobering thought if you dwell on it.

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