Default 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

It's all getting quite fantastic.

Maybe we should take another look at "tired light".

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.

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

Anyone want to take a five dollar bet?

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.
