Posted by Hemos on from the and-i-feel-fine dept.

ninthwave writes "The Guardian is running an article on research into the visible effects of entropy in the Universe. Alan Heavens of The University of Edinburgh did the research also posted at The Royal Astronomical Society with this article" I dunno - expansion, heat death - it all reminds me of a teacher who said "I'm not a premillenialist, postmillenialist - I'm a pan-millenialist, as in it's all going to pan out in the end." Update: 08/18 16:36 GMT by S : Headline fixed.

  1. For those wondering... by NMerriam · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You use "an" before a vowel SOUND in English. So You would say "Death of a Universe" because even though "Universe" starts with a vowel, it is pronounced "you-nih-verse". If it were pronounced "Ooh-nih-verse", the headline would be correct.
