The Universe Will End Soon

[Chuck57]

I've often wondered what 'they' mean when they say the universe is finite. We're told it's expanding, but will only expand until it reaches a finite end, or edge. Beyond the edge is nothing. Okay, I can accept that, but what do they mean by nothing? In our universe nothing is something. Nothing is the absence of something, but that isn't the same 'nothing' they're talking about. They mean, from what I've read, literally nothing.

Are we a specimen on a slide, being watched by somebody through a microscope? Is our universe comprised of a tiny spot on the slide? Our millions and billions of years might be a minute, or a few seconds, to the being studying us through the microscope. Our vast trillions of light years size universe could be a tiny little speck on that slide.

And here I thought Element 115

Moscovium​

would have stopped your boredom. I feel disappointed in myself now. Let me send you down a rabbit hole. The element might have been made in 2003 but the theory of it was back in 1979. Please watch the video.

As the half life of Moscovium is about 220 milliseconds they really must have looked rather quickly to find it.

I knew Bob Lazar in Los Alamos. He owned a camera store. I also recall when he closed. According to him, he'd bought into a brothel in Nevada (near Reno), called the Moonlight Ranch. I was a photography nut then, until I realized I had no eye for composing photos and would by film from him. We talked a lot, and never once did he get into the UFO conspiracy stuff, or any of the nonsense he talks about now.

But somethings will never change. Such as iobit malware fighter is the best security solution

Well ok, so that didn't work very well. Let me see if can find something else. Oh but first I must drink my elixir of Ginkgo biloba and Viagra, along with a glass of mead of just nibble on a Lotus flower.

Personally I find the idea of dark energy being a form of quintessence thus leading to the end of the universe by the Big Crunch followed by a subsequent universe rebirth to be rather comforting. The alternative would be a slooooooowly expanding universe with entropy increasing to the maximum- thus stars fade, black holes degrade and vanish, and atoms decay, leaving nothing but a vacuum with some vastly separated photons and electrons.

And as Absolute Zero approaches, no more Parties no more Music, no more Twitter, no more Wine.

God, I am so bored...

One of the objectives of the latest upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to identify Supersymmetry (SUSY), which could explain Dark Matter / Dark Energy, not as a quintessence, but as an anti-element or anti-particle of some baryonic stuff (similar to current symmetric standard model between electron / positron, matter / antimatter etc).

Whether SUSY is confirmed or debunked, the current expansion of the Universe "creates" energy, imploding our Law Of Conservation Of Energy (Émilie du Châtelet: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed)... and that fact in our present is much more fascinating than any other hypothetical future apocalypse. Similar fascination can be found with Gravitation and the conflict between Quantum Physics and General Relativity, or with Quantum Entanglement and the Rupture of Locality or Causality, etc... all these real factual questions exist on our present, they're plausible to be studied / understood, and certainly they're much more fascinating and productive than hypothetical future apocalypses.

Support for Windows 10 will end in 2025. So why do I have to apply the update?

....It may be a measure to avoid getting bored in a unchanged environment

As interesting as the discussion on the future cataclysm is a related question. What happens after, to each of us? Do we go on to a reward or punishment? Does our energy just dissipate into the surroundings? Do we continue on (ghosts)? Or, does our essence slide into an alternate dimension? Last, does our energy and all that we were just cease to be?

There are questions that trouble me more. (Ukraine...)

If somebody screws up and it goes nuclear, the questions are very valid.

In that case, we go out like burning torches, and if that does not happen, and we get a new ice age, maybe like stiff ice sticks. Maybe there are signs, stiffs to the right, torches down the stairs

Or we die of radiation poisoning, which is not a fun way to go.

I do not think either of the other two ways is any better

Thanks I needed that laugh honestly.

My serenity referred to a cosmic end of the world. I wanted to make it clear that I am much more worried about the war in Ukraine with the threat of nuclear war. You completely misunderstood my statement.

And so even if he was listed as an employee at Los Alamos Labs, you say he was just a camera man? That is interesting.

And why do you say he is an idiot? Any proof? If so, please share ...

As we age we tend to think more about these things. If there is a reward or punishment I believe it's based on where you start in life and what you do along the way. But that's just my opinion.
