What do you mean by will the universe end? Stop expanding? Implode?
Either way thats the bigger question.

Right, is there a collapse in the long run.
Unfortunately, all outcomes end in our demise. Contraction ends us. Eternal expansion ends us once all the energy is used up and the universe becomes cold, dark and dead.
We're fricked either way apparently. Unless we can jump into another theoretical universe.

"Will the universe end?" is the longer question?
The answer to both is yes.
I plan on being out of town that weekend.

What is the bigger question: Do aliens exist? Or Will the universe end?

Laws of Thermodynamics make heat death an inevitable end of the universe. There will be no more energy available for work at that point.
So, seeing as we know the answer to Question 2, I'll go with aliens.

The latter is a larger question by 5 letters.

I guess you could say define "end."
Either way the universe will still be here, just nothing living to tell you about it.

Do expound. I still say we need to figure out jumping to another universe if possible.

do aliens exist? i'd like to know in my lifetime...the universe isn't ending anytime soon.
Posted on 4/3/14 at 4:31 pm to The Baker
i would think #2 is a bigger question. it ties much more into existential thought & whether there is more to the universe than meets the eye. aliens existing would be cool as shite, but it wouldn't prove or disprove anything about any "greater meaning" or ultimate fate of the universe that we perceive.
fwiw i think people are conceited if they think that humankind perceives all that is going on. i like to look at the universe with the idea that human intellect is fundamentally limited and that there are things we can & will never understand. a good analogy would be that your dog will never understand the extent of human civilization. in this way humans may never grasp the greater organization of the universe.
and so, with that in mind, i choose #2 as the bigger question.
