Love it when it snows

Astrophysics teaches us the universe  began and it will also end. It began with a magnificent expansion and ends a cold empty void, each star so isolated none can be seen from another until they too go dark, a vast empty space when the universe fulfills it's destined end of entropy.  No need to mourn it's  death or ours it's  just life either individual or universal.  

In a billion years our sun will grow so large, it will consume Venus and Mercury and bake any life out of existence on Earth. 4 billion years later it will have grown and swallowed Earth. 

It will all be moot by then as our contribution to the universe will be filed under "whatever'.

All the best,

 Contemporary astrophysics is not an absolute truth, it is a continuous endeavor like other practical sciences...

For example for Sir Roger Penrose, whose cosmology is not amateurish, there is no beginning and no end...


Thermodynamics is only a fragment of a more universal science and  vision, then any conclusion by thermodynamics on the fate of the universe is very narrow vision...


I prefer mathematics....And for a mathematician, speaking of limitations or finite things only, is a way too much narrow to only work with that...Infinite is the smallest game in town...

More than that it is possible with mathematics yoga to sustain a clear vision... Alas! it is not possible to impose a vision, we must work wit it really....And at the end fertility of vision is the only goal...

Yep, when the sun begins to burn it's  helium it will grow into a red giant then after a few billion years more it will rip itself  apart condensing into a whit dwarf. I doubt humans will exist long enough to be worried about it.

Steady state no beginning or end isn’t a working theory anymore it doesn’t coincide with what we observe. Math is just a tool to help us explain, create and predict.
