How the Universe Will End

[@StarTalk]

How do you think the universe will end?

[@mikeuk666]

If the universe ceases to exist would we have ever existed ourselves 🤔

[@Grymgar]

If Matter cannot be created or destroyed, what happens to matter that's ripped?

[@tankmango757]

With my balls disappearing again

[@RyanHess-n9b]

Nothing is set in stone, all of these are theories supported by data and the very limited knowledge we have gained on the universe. Anything can happen we don't or probably will never truly know.

[@light-master]

I came to Startalk for the science, but I stayed for the friendship between Neil and Chuck.

[@denisebledsoe8836]

Well said

[@BaronVonQuiply]

In some ways, maybe the real destroyed universes were the friends we made along the way. Again, I apologize about that.

[@DSAK55]

[@Primitive01]

Thank you so much for going back to the studio. Much better audio quality and no delay between the speakers.

[@jacobgarcia7918]

I think this might be an old episode. But I could be wrong.

[@cindygr8ce]

Neil is so good at explaining stuff so that I can pick up on what scientists theorize without making me feel dumb.

[@marjoriestevens9742]

And Chuck is just the right guy to help us remember with his jokes.

[@Speed_Racer.]

That’s the sign of a good scientist. To explain things in simple terms. Carl Sagan and Einstein were good at that also

[@midnightgir6]

And I love Chuck looking uncomfortable, but he can't seem to run away.

[@forehandchief23]

I truly believe Neil is to Science education as Einstein is to Science. Both are incredibly brilliant at their craft.

Chuck was scared the entire time he was holding that rubber band. 😂 Another great episode!

[@JesseJames83]

[@DaveQZ85]

I'm glad I'm alive at the same time as Neil and Chuck. They have such a great way of explaining science to the masses. We need to figure out a way to digitize these two so they can keep going.

[@dawnhansen7886]

100 % Agree ❕️

[@astrocoastalprocessor]

An AI Neil and Chuck are the astrophysics Statler and Waldorf that the world eternally deserves

[@nyoverse]

Weirdos ..

[@WishItWas1984]

The best part of this video is learning about Ground News. As "news" became more polarizing on each sides' major platforms, I stumbled on StarTalk's video with the creator of the Ad Fontes Media Bias Chart. From then on, I simply only read stories from those center/top agencies, such as AP or Reuters. Ground News not only utilizes this monitoring platform, but two other major ones I never heard of, and looks to do it in an easy to absorb and navigate interface. I am excited to subscribe, yet ultimately sad that I even have to. Thanks StarTalk!

[@ProfGlitch]

the "center" is just as much a biased position as the "left" or "right"

[@aaronbarrett5061]

​@@ProfGlitchI think these labels are useless, left, right, centre, there is an outside, it is possible to not subscribe to any of these positions, instead you can use all the tools at your disposal in order to teach positions on things without the biases thrown in I wish more people would do that, but I'm either labelled a centrist or far right, depending of which side of the spectrum the other falls on

[@R0bilicious]

5:27 Chuck, you were there for the Big Numbers explainer!

[@marcineren112]

He should listen to Neil more , but he probably was busy thinking how to make a joke out of it.

[@nilayshekhar999]

he probably listens to neil for whatever period and forgets about whatever they have recorded later in the day lmao

[@JesseJames83]

Neil just forgot who he was talking to

[@Crunch104]

Chuck went with his initial thought and went 10x100. It happens lol.

[@sebastronomical]

I can almost guarantee Chuck knows what a googol is. I think he’s just playing the part to make the show feel more informative. After all, you never know when it’s someone’s first star talk episode, and it can be helpful when learning new information if you have someone else learning it as well giving feedback

[@BaronVonQuiply]

Somewhere in a parallel universe, Physicist Bill Waterson draws comic panels in his spare time that he calls _Kelvin and Hubbles_

[@MoosesValley]

You guys are so awesome and entertaining. I'm a long time amateur cosmologist, and keep pretty up-to-date with the latest cosmology theories and discoveries, but I still love to tune in to StarTalk to enjoy the banter between you two. A++

[@YusufKesharia]

I was having dinner while watching this, and I just choked on myself at 5:18.

[@miketheman1393]

Lmao.. me too

[@aaronbarrett5061]

Disgusting people! You both went down on yourselves at the exact same time

[@RealmsSMPStudios]

Fun fact, if we go down the heat death route, there’s a stupendously, ludicrously, unbelievably small chance of a new big bang occurring due to quantum fluctuations in an estimated 10^10^10^56 years…

[@sillyWillieBilly]

Cause my brain isn't working yet, can someone post the number in 10^x

[@Parsa.a298]

10 to the power of 7600​@@sillyWillieBilly

[@hom-sha-bom]

Bruh that is way bigger than 10^7600. We can't write it in the form of 10^x, that's why he said 10^10^10^56. To even write it in the form of 10^10^x would be 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. 10^x would require writing twice as many 0's are there are stars in the UNIVERSE.

[@RealmsSMPStudios]

@@hom-sha-bom yeah, the third 10 would have 56 zeros, that number is 100 octodecillion, the second 10 would have 100 octodecillion zeros! So it would be 10^whatever the name of that big number is…

[@lisam5744]

Your idea of a fun fact is MUCH different than mine. 🤣

[@omgIoIwtf]

Idk about you guys but I speak for myself when I say that I really appreciate Chuck doing the sponsorship segments. Literally whenever dude is on screen I’m paying attention lol he could probably get me to sign up for something too 🤣

[@reneonier]

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

i've been pretty outspoken about their new set-up and whoever they've hired for the production and this is yet another example. what a rocky ride these new episodes have been. My bluetooth speaker is fine, but now my neighbors think I killed a pig lol

Nice seeing Chuck thinking in the same vein as Neil in this one. More scientific than comedic, with Neil providing more comedy. Love it!

The universe may not end in my lifetime but it may end in my ghost time and still scares me.

The lifespan of the universe is on such vast, incomprehensible timescales that it's effectively infinite. So I would worry less about the universe ending and more about your ghost being forced to experience all that.

[@InnerStereo]

If a page will be removed and they won’t know it, then how do we know that this hasn’t already happened infinitely already?

[@OnlyBlix]

We don't. We can only study and observe from the page we're in. IMO, the fact that we know there are ways for these "pages" to be removed from our universe should be a cautionary sign to us that it, as you said, could have already happened. An example is finding out what's "before" the big bang. For all we know it was a very simple answer until the pages were removed.

[@InnerStereo]

@@OnlyBlix yes exactly!

This is the kind of stuff I love at night. I think gravity and black holes are the key to everything.

Though the universe is expanding all we know possibly end up compacted and condensed so tight that it explodes again into a white hole. This was one marvelous "fireside chat."

[@isatousarr7044]

The end of the universe is a topic that has long intrigued cosmologists and astrophysicists. Several theories attempt to explain how the universe might reach its conclusion, including the Big Freeze, where the universe continues to expand until stars burn out and galaxies drift apart; the Big Crunch, where the expansion reverses, causing the universe to collapse back into a singularity; and the Big Rip, where dark energy accelerates expansion to the point that galaxies, stars, and even atoms are torn apart. Each of these scenarios presents a unique vision of the universe's fate, raising profound questions about the nature of time and existence itself. Which of these theories do you think provides the most compelling explanation for the universe's ultimate destiny?

[@GadZookz]

After the galaxies use up all their gas could t they just switch to electric? 🤔

[@jettmthebluedragon]

That makes no since 😐as electricity all ready exists in gas 😑ever Ben in a thunderstorm?🙃as you failed to mention the irony if you scientists say all galaxies will burn out that does explain why they came into existence if their was no gas to create the galaxies in the first place 🙃

It always amazes me the confidence with which scientists talk about the universe, other galaxies, the future, etc. think about how much we think we know now and what we thought we knew even 500 years ago.

The universe is always ending. That’s just the front of the ship. Here and now is the brain.

[@ThePwebb]

So, to me this begs the question does Time exist without interruption, or does it start and stop with existence? Does it restart if there is another Big Bang, or is there a measurable amount of time between the end of the Universe and another Big Bang (if a single atom-sized amount of matter constitutes existence?), or is the time immeasurable, and for all practical purposes it is instantaneous?
