I knew something like this would happen if we let Obama get elected.

If the universe is expanding, how can it be dying?

One of those doesn't have anything to do with the other.

No? I thought expansion would make it more difficult for star formation to occur

Uncle Bob knew that in the 60s.

quote:

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words, proves to warn
That he not busy being born is busy dying

The average temperature of the universe is believed to be 2.73 degrees Kelvin. Not much above absolute zero.

Interesting article on some of the experiments measuring average temps.

quote:

The temperature of the cosmic background radiation they measured was 5.08 Kelvin (+/- 0.10 Kelvin). This is extremely cold, but significantly warmer than the temperature which scientists measure in today’s universe, 2.73 Kelvin. Scientists measure temperatures in Kelvin above absolute zero (0 Kelvin = -273 degrees Celsius). One Kelvin is the same size as one degree Celsius.

I love people who have a slight grasp of how the universe actually works, making definitive statements.

I was mostly referring to it as a contrarian process as he is implying.

At its extremes the universe will have infinitely large distance between atoms, but the fact that space is being generated has nothing to do with the potential energy of the universe is fading.

It's also important to note that the expansion isn't happening in space.

It's happening EVERYWHERE.

The space between the atoms of your body is growing at the same rate as deep space. It just takes a very long distance for the effect to be profound.

Scientists can't even decide what's going on with our climate, but they think they can determine the death of the universe?

Yeah ok

If it doesn't happen, literally all of physics is wrong.


Fwiw.

This observable universe we live in is on infinite timeline to decay and become 100% chaotic in terms of particles/sub-atomic particles.

Eventually, every bit of matter will be dispersed into nothingness. So it really will be a "black" mass of nothingness. Of course, this assumes that zero intelligent life forms that exist at that time can't bend matter to their will enough to keep a planet system in check and create infinitely renewable energy resources... oh, and become an actually "civil" race.. eliminating any chances of blowing themselves up.

I know so, cuz um Morgan Freeman told me about it on a tv once.

And yet they can't tell us for sure if it's going to rain four days from now.

NO DOUBT.

For the record, I always use that analogy whenever anyone talks about global this or that... or universe speak.
