Heat death of the universe

[StateOfMind]

So according to this theory (if I got it correct) everything will drift apart and freeze to death and all potential life inhabiting planets will no longer be able to support life.

"The heat death of the universe (also known as the Big Chill or Big Freeze) is a theory on the ultimate fate of the universe, which suggests the universe would evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and would therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy. Heat death does not imply any particular absolute temperature; it only requires that temperature differences or other processes may no longer be exploited to perform work. In the language of physics, this is when the universe reaches thermodynamic equilibrium (maximum entropy)."

This coincides with my post on existential nihilism.

I don't think humans would be around by then.

Who gives a shit?

The end of the British Empire is the munching of coats by some moths."

Yeah, the universe will eventually "die" and there will be nothing left.
However, we have the STRING THEORY so, there might be infinite dimensions (or universes according to some other theories) out there!

Maybe there are some versions of ourselves who are not suicidal!

You would be surprised.

I feel you may be confusing 'universes' with 'dimensions'.

It's one theory based on our very limited current understanding of how the universe works. It may be an interesting thought experiment but in the end it's moot because we have hardly begun to understand the universe.

It's just a theory...in reality no one knows what will happen and new things are always being discovered.

What I want to know is if the big bang theory is real then where did the original singularity come from? What if after heat death, a new singularity somehow arises? I have zero expertise in this but just a thought.

I think Matt is talking about parallel universes.

Oh yeah, that could be possible too!
Multiverse and multiple dimensions stuff makes me go crazy! I love them.

Was buzzin last night and this really blew my mind, thank's for sharing!
