Scientists have discovered that the universe is decaying
much faster than they thought, and have pinpointed exactly
when it will perish.

A team of researchers from Radboud University in the
Netherlands determined that all the stars in the universe
will go dark in one quinvigintillion years. That's a one
followed by 78 zeros.

But this is a much shorter amount of time than the previous
prediction of 10 to the power of 1,100 years, or a one followed
by 1,100 zeros.

The process they believe is driving the death of the universe
is related to Hawking radiation, where black holes emit
radiation as they gradually 'evaporate' into nothing.

This was thought to be a phenomenon exclusive to black holes,
but the researchers showed that things like neutron stars
and white dwarfs can also evaporate similarly to black holes.

Better start working on that 'parallel universe' thing !

Yes I did read the link in science.daily:

Problem is mathematicians live in their own world of illusion.
Some parrot Albert E., some use holographic universe ideas,
but what they all like to do is divide by zero to get infinities ...
And then bring their math as ultimate truth.
I wonder, if humanity persists that long, how thousands of years from now people will look at all our 'models' of the universe
like we now look at the ancient ideas of earth, fire, water -or something like that- being the basic elements and
'birds fly because those are lighter than air, and people will never be able to fly..'
and what not, earth at center of the universe, and no life on other planets found yet (today) while
the first Mars probe was positive for life:

Religions oppose life being everywhere... being omni-present,
life is just a chemical reaction.

If you look at the scale of things, take a globe, look up you country, then where you live, then your body,
then the elementary particles it is made of,
then at say a neutron, COULD it be, if you look at those elementary particles there is also a world of its own with life like things on each one?
We are like ants, in the garden, no clue those have about the traffic, houses,, architects that build those...
So I would take the numbers in the above link with some ....

But its fun and interesting to see things and understanding evolve.
We are, somehow, as humans, in an (ever faster?) accelerating understanding of what we can see, understand, and do.
Maybe one day the black hole bomb will be tested, earth will be sucked up, solar system next, our galaxy next and ...

Maybe those mysterious quantum correlations are just nanoscopic lifeforms travelling from one elementary particle to the next like we did to the moon.

Science is fun.
I like to follow all that stuff, many different fields, am in electronics myself, it is used everywhere, worked in many fields where it is used.
sciencedaily.com
is a nice place to stay informed on the latest developments without the endless advertising crap forced on you via other sites.
