How are they defining the end of the universe?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

The universe is believed to end just a few nanoseconds before a monkey finishes writing Hamlet.

Probably very shortly after dinner has been served at that restaurant.

I think that was just a galaxy, not the whole universe.

You mean the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?

[-] 0x0@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Hmm.... i sit corrected.

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Heat death would be my assumption, so between about 10^100 and 10^106 years

We know such an infinitesimally small amount about what is actually happening in the universe that any claims to be capable of predicting it's end are patently absurd.
