      There has been a lot of news about the recent DESI results but a) the significance is low, and b) we’ve had anomalies pointing towards evolving dark energy for a few years now. Interesting, but still not nearly as compelling as the evidence that has been used to construct LambdaCDM, the Standard Model of cosmology.

      Bright side is none of us will be around for this end of the universe event. Human race will likely be many billions or trillions of years extinct.

      Someone correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t dark energy just a term to represent the driving force behind the ACCELERATED expansion of the universe? Dark energy going away would still leave us in an expanding universe with finite energy at that point, and heat death would still happen. Am I missing something?

      September 17, 2025 will be the beginning g of global thermo nuclear war.

      For the human mind and all understand that is essentially the end of the universe.

      *Does it still exist if there is nothing to perceive and define its existence?*

      So I’ve heard people say that as the universe expands into the deep future there will be less star formation, planets ect meaning chances for life decrease into the deep future. If the universe starts to collapse does that mean there’s another epoch of stars and life? What does the universe look like to that observer? Is everything the same just in reverse?
