Galactic Survey: The Universe Dying as Old Stars Fade Faster Than New Ones Are Born
astroengine writes: A study of more than 200,000 galaxies, encompassing wavelengths of light from the far ultraviolet to infrared, shows that the universe is producing half as much energy as it did 2 billion years ago and continues to fade. "Newer galaxies are simply putting out less energy than galaxies did in the past," astronomer Mehmet Alpaslan, with NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., told Discovery News. In other words, astronomers, for the first time, have gathered observational evidence that our universe is slowly marching toward its eventual heat death (in a few trillion years time).
Don't put it off til the last minute.
Still there are some ignorant deniers who don't accept the unanimous scientific proof that the heat death of the universe is human made.
Netcraft confirms, the universe is dying.
Speaking of Disney, isn't copyright the one thing that can outlast the heat death of the universe?
"Newer galaxies are simply putting out less energy than galaxies did in the past..."
Just like them young kids today, by dammit! Always settin' around and playin' with them tabulets and why-fie-fo-fummery and smart phones smaller'n yer pecker after a dip in the stream.
A dumb phone that just set there polite-like and rang 'til you answered or hit it with yer shoe was always good enough for me.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
