When Will Time End? (Version 1)

Watch the EXPANDED and UPDATED version on...
• When Will Time End?
It now seems that our entire universe is living on borrowed time. How long it can survive depends on whether Stephen Hawking's theory checks out. Special thanks to Ivan Bridgewater for use of footage.
Time is flying by on this busy, crowded planet... as life changes and evolves from second to second.
And yet the arc of human lifespan is getting longer: 65 years is the global average ... way up from just 20 in the Stone Age.
Modern science, however, provides a humbling perspective. Our lives... indeed the life span of the human species... is just a blip compared to the age of the universe, at 13.7 billion years and counting.
It now seems that our entire universe is living on borrowed time...
And that even it may be just a blip within the grand sweep of deep time.
Scholars debate whether time is a property of the universe... or a human invention.
What's certain is that we use the ticking of all kinds of clocks... from the decay of radioactive elements to the oscillation of light beams... to chart and measure a changing universe... to understand how it works and what drives it.
Our own major reference for the passage of time is the 24-hour day... the time it takes the Earth to rotate once. Well, it's actually 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds... approximately... if you're judging by the stars, not the sun.
Earth acquired its spin during its birth, from the bombardment of rocks and dust that formed it.
But it's gradually losing that rotation to drag from the moon's gravity.
That's why, in the time of the dinosaurs, a year was 370 days... and why we have to add a leap second to our clocks about every 18 months.
In a few hundred million years, we'll gain a whole hour.
The day-night cycle is so reliable that it has come to regulate our internal chemistry.
The fading rays of the sun, picked up by the retinas in our eyes, set our so-called "circadian rhythms" in motion.
That's when our brains begin to secrete melatonin, a hormone that tells our bodies to get ready for sleep. Long ago, this may have been an adaptation to keep us quiet and clear of night-time predators.
Finally, in the light of morning, the flow of melatonin stops. Our blood pressure spikes... body temperature and heart rate rise as we move out into the world.
Over the days ... and years... we march to the beat of our biology.
But with our minds, we have learned to follow time's trail out to longer and longer intervals.
Philosophers have wondered... does time move like an arrow... with all the phenomena in nature pushing toward an inevitable end?
Or perhaps, it moves in cycles that endlessly repeat... and even perhaps restore what is there?
We know from precise measurements that the Earth goes around the sun once every 365.256366 days.
As the Earth orbits, with each hemisphere tilting toward and away from its parent star, the seasons bring on cycles of life... birth and reproduction... decay and death.
Only about one billionth of the Sun's energy actually hits the Earth. And much of that gets absorbed by dust and water vapor in the upper atmosphere.
What does make it down to the surface sets many planetary processes in motion.
You can see it in the annual melting and refreezing of ice at the poles... the ebb and flow of heat in the tropical oceans...
The seasonal cycles of chlorophyll production in plants on land and at sea... and in the biosphere at large.
These cycles are embedded in still longer Earth cycles.
Ocean currents, for example, are thought to make complete cycles ranging from four to around sixteen centuries.
Moving out in time, as the Earth rotates on its axis, it completes a series of interlocking wobbles called Milankovic cycles every 23 to 41,000 years.
They have been blamed for the onset of ice ages about every one hundred thousand years.
Then there's the carbon cycle. It begins with rainfall over the oceans and coastal waves that pull carbon dioxide into the sea.

    I have a theory that " the Big Bang" was a reset of the universe. The narrator said that time could be resetting itself over and over again. So what if there was life before "the big bang" and it was all destroyed. What if there was a war between the universe and someone destroyed everything knowing it would all come back and we could get a second chance?. "The war doctor" from doctor who did something similar to his planet in the show and so what if someone or something did the same thing to the universe with a big bomb capable of doing this. (Please fell free to prove me wrong or if you want you can expand on this theory and try to prove it. But if you do prove it and become famous for finding this out just mention me)

    The nature of the universe is infinite. Infinity has no beginning and no end - infinity is instantly infinite. Like a singularity in that everything that existed, exists and will exist is always there - every possibility of existence. In other words - in relation to infinity of time, the chance that you already have written the above comment, is 100%. Welcome to infinity. ^^

    ***** Time is the infinite factor of the universe and we already know that time is relative. There are several forms of infinity, e.g. an endless cycle of becoming and passing away. Every new becoming is a variation of the former - another possibility. This means that every thing, every possible combination of existence will emerge 100% in relation to infinity of time. The universe will die (sucked up by the final black hole) and then when nothing is left, the last black hole will collapse in a huge explosion - a new big bang - and the process starts again.

    Objects are not flying through space away from us, they are stationary within space but space itself is scaling up. As the scale shifts up, you would expect things further away from us to be moving away from us at an excelerated rate. We in fact do see this. Also, the angles and perspectives match as well. We measure from points outside our solar system from "voyager" and we find that the expansion is from every perspective point we measure from. The only physical explanation- expanding universe

    Oh, and heads up- the redshift / blue shift Doppler effect is provable in the lab. How do you think we should interpret red shifting galaxies? Also, FYI the expanding universe doesn't mean there was a Big Bang. We have no way of knowing when the scale factor began expanding. But steady state theory is old hat and the Hubble diagram (based on provable observations and predictions) makes that obselete.

    Humbledudedonthate, the way that they know that is because of "hublble's graph" which show the movements of high redshift objects and their speed in relation to low redshift objects and their speed. Ie. everything is moving away from everything else and things farther away are moving away faster. This shows that space is expanding and at an increasing rate. That rate is steady and can be charted as Hubble did. If you follow the movements backwards you can arrive at the time in which-

    Actually, thinking about it, the candle with the hour-markings probably wasn't the first measured unit of time. On reflection, the day was already in existence, and so was the year, so events could already be measured by counting natural event cycles long before we invented candles or any other devices for measuring time.

    @ eminaevangelion - it's certain the universe is both expanding and cooling - that's how we know it was both smaller and hotter in the past - figuring out the rate of cooling and expansion and the current size and temperature lets us work out how long ago the universe was very small and very hot - the point at which it was infinitely dense is what we call the big bang. Current theory doesn't predict the universe will ever contract again though.

    The observation that motion is one type of relationship between entities is what gives rise to the concept of time. It's in this sense that time has meaning. The entire concept of measurement including time, presupposes an observer who measures. Time can't be applied to the universe as a whole because the universe doesn't exist within a larger context. The universe doesn't exist in time or space. Time and space exist inside the universe. The universe is eternal and outside of time.

Sounds exactly like a black hole to me. If a black hole reaches a certain mass, could it erupt in a bang? Could they in fact BE big bangs? If not, why?
