Why physicists now question the fate of the Universe

The Universe is gonna Die!

Way beyond your lifetime or mine.

Thinking Big Thoughts

I’m all for finding out things about our Universe(Multiverse?). I believe in Pure Science that goes beyond proving ‘facts of life’ — as long as it’s not Corporate Science, which only seeks to prove that elements of life (like Products and Processes) are “safe” or “exploitable.”

I believe in the power of observation, as long as it is not coming from that ‘need’ to prove something that is ‘worthwhile’ (and once again, exploitable).

Hence the above article about the path that our Universe is taking in the grand scheme of things. How it Began. How it will End. All thing of that nature (literally) can be useful in finding out necessary Truths about our reality and our physical world.

But part of me is going… ‘Eh! So Bleeping what? The Universe is going to die.’ Long after you and I are long, long gone. It’s a fait accompli that, yes, the Universe will end.
