I can’t hear it without the Timelapse of the Future soundtrack playing

Weirdly I find heat death a somewhat comforting end. I think we as humans understand that things get incrementally more disordered over time, our own lives quietly grinding to a halt as entropy marches onwards. By the end of your life a single hour has much less meaning than it did when you were a toddler; now just an infinitesimal fraction of your life. In the same way, the 14 billion years our infant universe has existed will become exponentially insignificant in contrast to the unimaginably vast periods of empty nothingness to come.

It’s mind bending to think that, even though the death of the universe is trillions of trillions of years away, that day will eventually arrive.

To put it another way, the Big Freeze is a temporal singularity. All moments of time are indistinguishable. As though they are the same. Much like the Big Bang was a spatial singularity.

When you have ultimate entropy, you will have complete order. Or is it like a spilt egg on the flooor where all the matter remains out there but motionless.

Can I ask a ask a question about big bang theory and the accepted notion that the universe is expanding rapidly ? Hubble stated, from his observations, that the further away galaxies are 'from us' the the faster they are moving away 'from us'. So this would imply that the further you look back in time, galaxies were moving faster, and the closer you look, galaxies are moving slower. From my understanding of this: the universe is contracting, not expanding. Redshift increases the further we look away, and blue shift is closer. This has to be a sign that the universe is contracting ? Hubble was observing galaxies that existed before our planet did, looking back in time ? Regards Byron

To put things in perspective, if the life of the universe were only one year, we would only be in the first millisecond of January 1st.

You’re absolutely right, all the energy present in the universe today will still exist, but in a state of maximum entropy, or disorder. Even objects such as black holes will slowly fade away into Hawking Radiation, leaving an unchanging, permanent state of absolute disorder. Brian Cox does a good video on entropy using a sandcastle as an example.

this guy would definitely be the best drinking buddy to talk about stuff

Can anyone answer this: according to "best available theory" (whatever that is), will the final state of the universe differ in any way from the state of "nothingness" from which I think we are to understand "The Big Bang" produced everything? In other words, could the whole process repeat itself? Moreover, I have read that the application of entropy arguments to what is in fact a non-equilibrium system in the way Prof. Cox invites us to in this film is specious. Comments?

2:11 that is a Googol number of years.... that is 10 ^ 100 ....

If energy can neither be created nor destroyed merely changed from one form to another what happens to all the energy at the end ? Is there an end?

When the last atom disappears, then time itself disappears, since time is a measurement of the oscillations of atoms. At this point, according to a thought of Roger Penrose, the universe will not know how large or small it is. It might be that if the universe considers itself to be infinitely small, one minor fluctuation of a virtual particle could create another Big Bang, and the whole thing could start over again.

big bang started somehow though. there's a lot of unknown physics before big bang. so logically there's also unknown physics after heat death.

Time only means anything when there is something to be affected over time. When all the matter and energy in the universe and space itself ceases to exist, time will become meaningless.
