@@KatSpicert Matter is created and destroyed all the time, it's energy that can't be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. That's how we created most of the unstable transuranic elements. We put a lot of energy into smaller atoms and smash them together, converting that energy into heavier atoms. Heat death is when, many trillions of trillions of trillions of years from now, all the stars have gone dark, and all of the atoms have decayed, and even black holes have evaporated, leaving only photons travelling about. Photons don't experience time, which is where quantum fluctuations in the vacuum could eventually spark a new big bang, especially if the expansion of space keeps accelerating as it currently is. Empty space doesn't have mass per se, so nothing really prevents it from expanding faster than the speed of light. Virtual particles constantly pop in and out of existence in empty space, matter and antimatter pairs that quickly self-annihilate leaving a net mass of zero, but if space is expanding fast enough they may be drawn apart too quickly to ever meet. Suddenly you have mass in the universe again being created in what looks a lot like the early period of inflation in the big bang theory. It's cyclical, but there is no collapse, only a fade to nothingness, and then something-ness re-appears out of the vacuum energy.

Hi, Matt! Could you do an episode about quantum teleportation? The only reason I didn't lose my mind with entanglement was the fact that you can't transmit any real information with it, but quantum teleportation seems to manipulate entangled states with partial measurements and transmit real information faster than light (such as the properties of a photon made entangled with one of the original entangled pair). What's up with that?

Love this suggestion, btw. I thought the information would be blurred with unintended static that could be deconstructed but you wouldn't be able to get at it ftl. Not actually knowledge, here. I'm spouting my memory of a chalkboard explanation

When contemplating these tremendously long timescales, it seems important to recognise the (potential) influence of both: • *Life* in general, which (depending on how much could exist on a *Universal* scale) may end up increasing the overall *Entropy* of the *Universe* in a miniscule - _but still significant_ - value _(with unknown consequences)._ • As well as, *Intelligent Life,* which certainly would have profoundly massive implications for *Stellar Formation* & *Entropy* - & who knows what else - as it develops into the *Galactic Scale* (& perhaps beyond) of a *Kardashev Type III Civilization...* ~⊚~ I'm also curious how *Dark Energy* may affect the formation of these *Iron Stars* (or any other kind of star, for that matter) as while currently the expansion of *Space-Time* only occurs at the vast scales of *Galactic Clusters* / *Extra-Galactic Voids,* surely there may come a point on the *Universal Timescale* when it's effects have increased to the point where it distorts galaxy formation, sufficiently dispersing the particulates in *Nebulae* & *Proto-stellar Nurseries* so that the future formation of stars becomes impossible..? Could either *Dark Energy* or *Dark Matter* have any significant effect on the *Chandrasekhar Limit* at any point in the future..? Eg: Could formations of *Dark Matter* act to increase the inward forces on smaller stars such that even a star as small as *Sol* _(one single stellar mass)_ could become a *Black Hole..?*

About the last episode: can we interpret the quantum physics fundamental randomness as a memory of the future in some way? When a quantum wave crambles down into a localised particle, it's new properties might be those precise ones because it's the only ones compatible with the local near future, right? Would it make sense that causality could go fourth and back in some cases at quantum scale ?

That was a really good Professor Farnsworth impression Matt.

Thank you for years of videos

So, this raises some questions. Will these supernovas expel enough mass to form planets? Stars? Will there be one last batch of solar systems at the end of the universe?

I felt like the issue of proton decay was brushed off too quickly. Because the iron star only works if there is none. And that is something that also requires quantum principles.

Close your eyes and then open it, that's how long forever feels like when dead, so worry not you won't even know when this 10^32000 years passby meet you folks in the another universe when we spawn again on some random planet or from the random vacuum fluctuation.

The intro speaks to me on a spiritual level

That's good news indeed! (loved the intro :) My question: what would happen if two of these iron stars/black dwarves would merge? Or is there not even a mathematical chance for that to happen, because they can only form in such a late stage of the universe, so that "everything" will be "scattered" too far apart to such events to occur?

Due to gravitational wave emission any black dwarf that's not alone will merge with anything near it before it manages to fuse into an iron dwarf. The merger would cause the entire star duo to pass the mass limit and fuse in seconds, disintegrating them entirely. Such mergers are not rare in our modern universe.

What if around that age of the universe & its expansion births' new big bangs, possibly from these stable iron seeds? Maybe they are just waiting for Universal Winter & then the expansion causes a Spring season on the slightly-larger-than observable universe scale. & yes there seems to me to be cells that have universes in its sections, like a blister pack of pills.

No it has reached a local minimum bound on both sides by a "campaign contribution" (bribe) requirement. There is a theoretical lower energy state of US politics where public opinion would be required to escape the energy well. In case you doubt my theory, it has actual data to back it up. In 9 out of 10 political races, the candidate with more "campaign contributions" (aka bribes) will win.

Wow, this is really interesting stuff. Hey, at least we'll go out with a bang 😅 So in cosmological terms, iron is like death. The closer the universe is to being composed entirely of iron, the older and closer to death it is.
