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.

[@marjoriestevens9742]

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

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

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…

[@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

[@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

[@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]

This is the kind of stuff I love at night. I think gravity and black holes are the key to everything. They continue to merge and everything WE KNOW ends in a big crunch and repeat with another big bang. 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."

[@bangerrr569]

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. Which to you may seem like a long time, but in the scale of the universe that is literally a single atom in a single grain of sand compared to how long the universe has been around.

[@bjo004]

0:41. I may be wrong but I'm not aware of any scientific observations on how stars are formed. We observe them exploding after the creation of iron (for stars don't fuse past iron without exploding). The explanation of gas clouds collapsing to form stars has not been observed to my knowledge. We observe that gases in general don't like coming together let alone collapsing to form something as dense as a star. I'm open for correction 😄

[@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?
