Waspie_Dwarf Posted August 6, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Katie Mack: 'Knowing how the universe will end is freeing' Quote Terms like "heat death", "big rip" and "vacuum decay" don't sound all that inviting. And they aren't. They describe a few of the theories scientists have about how our universe will one day die. But when cosmologist Katie Mack thinks about the end of everything, it gives her peace.

L.A.T.1961 Posted August 6, 2020 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Humans now have God like powers. To think that we know what will happen in the far distant future, or past, can seem slightly unreal yet is largely unappreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think that we know what will happen in the far distant future, or past, can seem slightly unreal yet is largely unappreciated. We still don't know for sure. There are several competing hypotheses, but the fact that we can even contemplate such events is amazing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every thread started by Damien is about vacuum decay. He has an unhealthy obsession with it. Hopefully this thread can remain rational. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these sentences specifically prove that you are clueless: Quote Simple words like "heat death" are easy to understand - and that's good, because it's the most likely way our universe will come to an end. so not vacuum decay like you continuously and falsely claim then. Quote It's probably not going to happen in the next, you know, trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of years and so on. So it's probably not imminent like you continuously and falsely claim then.

Because LHC found the higgs and found that this will happen because of it, And from what they found it’s highly possible it will happen soon.

And? Can you stop it? No you can't. Neither can I. Best course of action is to not worry about it. I'm not going to worry about things I can't change or control. Maybe you should try that some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is going to end eventually and nothing we as a species can do to stop it. It'll probably poof out long after we're extinct. What I'm trying to get through to you and failing at apparently, is to quit worry about something that'll take eons to happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerBright19 Posted August 7, 2020 #24 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) In 5,000 years time people will judge today's science as primitive, maybe even pre-historic compared to their futuristic elite standards and the same will go for them in 10,000 years time when people look back at them. Time has shown that humans rarely get anything right. The universe is simply beyond our understanding. Maybe that is how it is supposed to be.
