"Nothing lasts forever." Right?

The Universe isn't an exception, whether it happens now or later doesn't matter.

Well energy cannot be created or destroyed so we'll see what this transition makes.

 

[GreatestHits]

Complete respect to their dedication and hard work in the field of physics.

But I do not think any mere man can truly understand what the universe is doing. Much less tell us it's going to compress into nothing.

"The sky is falling."

 

[arab]

DAMMIT

 

[way more]

Well then, fuck studying for my chem final.

 

[Emwitus]

Read the op as universal studios . don't know why ...leaves thread satisfied nonetheless

 

[Amikami]

My question is: Does it really matter. Whether the Universe goes on forever and freezes or collapses and get crunched; it can't be possible to develop technology to save ourselves, can it, granted humans are still around by that time?

 

[.GqueB.]

Don't use "Brink" so flippantly.

 

[xBladeM6x]

Pretty fascinating stuff. Everything could just end at any point. I suppose if it started to happen far enough away, we could see it coming. Wouldn't that be crazy? Seeing the stars disappearing knowing the whole universe is collapsing and there's nothing you can do.

The Silence Is Coming.

 

[Air]

I have trouble believing this. Too many "could, probably, possibly", I need more studies on this. Interesting though.

The entire big crunch theory isn't that strong; for now what we know is that the universe is expanding and its expansion is accelerating.

Yeah this is my pov as well.

 

[Mudkips]

Time to cash in those Dogecoins.

Fixed.

Not worried I'm sure Sam and McKay are on it.

Fuck them they're useless. Rush will know how to stop it but will instead choose to let it happen, then Eli will find out what he's up to just in time.

 

[Stinkles]

How are they going to escape the universe collapsing? By definition, there would be nowhere to escape to.



.

there are plenty of otherwheres.

By the time this happens, I predict that the human race will be long gone.

 

[casabolg]

"Scientist says sky may or may not be falling and if it is it might be some time from now or soon."

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

By the time this happens, I predict that the human race will be long gone.

Even if we are still around we'd have evolved beyond the homo sapien that we know.

 

[6.8]

Keep flip-flopping scienticians

 

[Tabby]

Anarchy!
But no that's pretty crazy stuff.
Existence is weird, if the universe collapses then what's left?

 

[FOOTE]

Welp. I don't know what to believe anymore.

It comes back. Usually this is when science bridges with philosophy..and spirituality

 

[Sorcerer]

Why worry?

I am sure Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck will save us.

 

[Kaako]

So far we've come, yet so little we understand. I find beauty in that.

 

[scytheavatar]

Am I the only guy who clicked on this expecting it to be about Universal Studios going bankrupt? That would make for a more interesting topic to discuss.

 

[Tablo]

Well in any case.......

 

[Lamel]

I feel like if this were to happen it would happen in an instant and we wouldn't see it coming.

If it happened at light speed, it would take 14 billion+ years to engulf the current observable universe, that is if it ceases expansion in that time.

 

[Kallor]

By the time this happens, I predict that the human race will be long gone.

If we are around when this happens then we'll probably be god like and won't give a shit.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

If it happened at light speed, it would take 14 billion+ years to engulf the current observable universe, that is if it ceases expansion in that time.

It would but we still would never actually notice or feel it. We would never be able to see it.

Alive one minute, dead the next.

Are we under the assumption that it would happen locally and spread across the universe or does it happen to all particles at the same instant?

 

[Deleted member 13876]

See you guys in the everythingball.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Precursors lived before the universe and they'll live after its collapse.

Fuck everyone else!

 

[Teknoman]

All I could think of while reading that.

What is this from?

 

[Norml]

What is this from?

Stargate Atlantis

 

[IISANDERII]

Maybe a collapsed is starting right now right here here

I feel like this sentence is incomplete. Did some missing words get sucked into the vortex that the article is talking about? Is the vortex alive and sentient and trying to hush up the media?

 

[Despera]

So... our universe is just a reoccurring, pulsating cycle - expanding, collapsing and expanding again...

Yes. Maybe.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

It might be collapsing already, or it might never collapse. What a nice way to sum it up.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

 

[jond76]

I chuckle to think that people think that we little specks of nothing on earth have the whole universe figured out.

[Kinyou]

"All of this has happened before and will happen again..."

 

[fanboi]

What if it is in a collapsed mode right now and we are living in a small ball of what is our universe?!?

 

[jerry1594]

Pretty sure no one thinks that

 

[overcast]

Well, let the PS4/Xbone generation play out first, hopefully Last Guardian will come. Otherwise, melt this shit.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Guess I should start on my backlog then.

 

[BizzyBum]

So... our universe is just a reoccurring, pulsating cycle - expanding, collapsing and expanding again...

So... our universe could be like... the trillionth iteration of a universe.

 

[Jackpot]

their theory says the universe doesn't collapse, it gets consumed by a new one.

 

[sturmdogg]

Don't worry. The Doctor will reset the Universe. He's done it before.

 

[verbum]

No collapse, no shrinking, just loneliness:

So how will the Universe end? The force of dark energy will continue to accelerate the expansion of the Universe until distant galaxies disappear. Galaxies will use up all the gas and dust for stars and go dark, perhaps becoming black holes. Those black holes will decay and maybe matter itself will decay into pure energy. The entire Universe will become a cold, quiet place, where single photons are stretched across light years of space.

Don’t worry, though, that won’t be for quadrillions of years from now.

All due to dark energy pushing everything further apart.

My neighbourhood will probably be ok

I love how whenever there are multiple candidates as potential "endgame scenarios" for our Universe, some people always manage to pick the most cold/hopeless looking one. Bravo!

 

[Erehtih]

If Gurren Lagann has taught me anything, it's that of the universe is trying to kill us, we fucking kill it with drills

It's kind of beautiful to me. But it's also 6:30 am on a cold Monday morning, By 3:00 pm, with the sun out, I may like the collapse and explosion theory more.

What is beauty without a potential for an observer to see it all? Those photon lengths might not be ideal for forming consciousness, but hey...

 

[DonasaurusRex]

the article reads...Eventually a radical shift in....the forces..of the Univers..

ok not even finishing this one...
