It's official. The universe is dying.

Quote:Without applause or encore, the lights are going out across the universe, as old stars die faster than new ones are born to replace them.

Astronomers described the slow death of the cosmos in fresh detail on Monday after training some of the world’s most powerful telescopes on a vast region of space.

They analysed starlight from more than 220,000 distant galaxies and found that the universe has lost about half of its twinkle over the past two billion years. It will lose far more in the next two billion.

“The universe is curling up on the sofa and becoming a couch potato,” said Joe Liske, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany, who took part in the study.


But where does all the energy go?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
