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 |

it. Intersting but the Big Guns believe in the Big Bang.

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. |
