Nothing lasts forever, not even the universe itself. Whether it's his sentient evil AI destroying us, or a huge Higgs boson world-ending empty bubble that may already be on its way to the earth at the speed of light devour, as Stephen Hawking predicted, we all know that humanity has an expiration date. But now, as a group of theoretical physicists, we know the exact date.
To find out exactly when all of the known creation ceases to exist, theoretical physicists have made an experiment to determine when the laws of physics are they will begin to deteriorate because apparently even something as simple as electromagnetic energy is Has durability.
As it turns out, we have only 10 139 years before everything collapses and the rules of our universe cease to apply exactly as they do now. Even earlier, however, is the likely moment that our universe itself will break up: Scientists involved in the study are 95 percent sure we are 10 58 years away from the end of the universe , [19659005]
So, if you have the book that you want to read or finish a puzzle, you have now set your deadline in stone.
Describes research, Anders Andersen of Harvard University has such calm, cool style, that it almost sounds like he's picking a date for a dinner with friends, rather than for the moment of sinking himself:
"We wanted to fix all previous approaches and get the exact date as tight as possible."
Perhaps Andreassen hopes on Milliways, Douglas Adams & # 39; restaurant at the end of the universe, in Hitchhiking through the Universe waves back and forth over the cataclysmic events in a special time travel bubble, allowing guests to enjoy a meal against the background of exploding stars.
This of course assumes that the whole event takes place in a big bang, which could not be the case.
At a time when the rules of the universe are no longer meaningful, it is difficult to predict exactly what will happen in either case, but scientists have a good theory of what could finally end things.
Apparently when it happens and the universe goes bang, we will thank God for it.
Or at least the god particle.
Apparently, when things go south for this particular universe, it could be good, thanks to our good friend, the elusive Higgs boson particle.
Apparently The Fate of the Universe The Higgs boson does not lose mass – if the particle forms itself in years and years in an even lighter state, it would collapse and create an enormous bubble of negative energy that would engulf our universe. [19659003] The god particle gives; the god particle moves away.
There are currently a lot of guesswork around this topic. We do not know exactly how the Higgs boson behaves and whether it might be able to act as the physicists involved in this study suspect.
Ultimately, as much as we want to find out even the smallest reality of the ultimate demise of the universe, there is a lot of science in the cosmos that we still do not understand, and until we understand these rules, we can not predict exactly when the universe will end.
This is probably the best. The only people who really need to know when the end of the universe will come are those who try to make reservations for dinner at Milliways.
