Subject: National Geographic's Prediction -- The Universe Will Die a Black Death
|
Hi:
Last Wednesday I saw an episode of National Geographic which discussed
-- as far as scientists can tell -- how the universe began and how it
will end.
It seems the universe will keep expanding and never contract. Also, the
rate of expansion is increasing.
As a result, everything in the end will be stretch to death. Atoms will
no longer stay together due to the strecth. It will be a dark and cold
death.
Scary stuff!
Regards,
Radium

Nor any human or descendant, biological or otherwise, that will ever
exist. My understanding is "The Big Rip' wil occur in 1000s of
trillions of years. That's quite a while from now. ;-)

I just found my copy of Marmets article on the internet and re-read
it. Intersting but the Big Guns believe in the Big Bang.

It's all getting quite fantastic.
Maybe we should take another look at "tired light".

Another thing to note, as Brian mentioned in response to your other
thread, is that those predictions only apply to the observable portion
of the known universe. That stretches back in time to just before the
Big Bang and out to an observable sphere approximately 4.5 gigaparsecs
in distance-then. Metaphysically, it is possible there is more beyond
the range of your observable universe which we may learn of in the
future. - Canopus56

Well we'll all be dead long before it happens, so don't worry.
You might also want to check out the book "The Five Ages of the
Universe". It also discusses the ultimate fate of the universe as
well.

Sounds like you are primed to read Asimov's "The Last Question". Full text

Don't be scared.
This grimm conclusion is totally based on General Relativity (GR) that
it has no other explanations to the observed behavior of Type Ia
Supernova explorsionsin the 1 to 5 billion light years out. GR is
built on a boat load of postulates that most of them are just purely
wrong, absurd, and illogical. If anyone desires, I can point them out
one by one. GR is a theory based on observations, and yet it does not
address this issue where all observations are interpreted to be
reality. The fault lies in the assumption that mass somehow
miraculously causes a curvature in spacetime as well as the faulty
trait carryed over from Special Relativity which is worth another
chapter of discussions.
In the meantime, please don't hold your breath to anticipate the
outcome of our universe. It is still not conclusive with all the
faulty hypotheses we have so far.

As long as science permits. Everyone ages differently.
