Claims that "the Universe Will End Sooner than Expected" Are False

Claims that "the Universe will end sooner than expected" are false

If all massive objects emit Hawking radiation, not just black holes alone, then everything is unstable, even the Universe. Can that be true?

Everything that has a beginning inevitably has an end. And that includes the Universe as a whole, the vast scenario where matter and energy paint, from the distant times of the Big Bang, the reality in which we all live. The end of the Universe, though far away, will arrive, and now a team of researchers from Radboud University in the Netherlands has discovered that that 'end of all things' will occur much sooner than was thought. To establish t…

The Universe Is Dying Way Faster Than We Thought

The universe was supposed to limp along into entropy for something like 10^1100 years. Which is such an enormous amount of time that it’s essentially forever. That’s a 1 with 1,100 zeros after it. But, according to new research, it seems like we have to update the date of the universe’s Inevitable doom. Dutch researchers just announced that the universe will die in 10^78 years. That’s the one with 78 zeros. Still long enough for you to check off…

New study shows universe's decay may be faster than previously estimated

The universe may be decaying much faster than previously thought, according to recent calculations on the so-called Hawking radiation by three scientists at Radboud University.Their research suggests that the last stellar remnants take about 10^78 years

Scientists have calculated when the universe will end, and the results suggest it could happen much sooner than previously thought.

The Universe Will Decay a Lot Sooner than Expected

Welcome back to the Abstract! I’m trying out something a little different this week: Instead of rounding up four studies per usual, I’m going deep on one lead study followed by a bunch of shorter tidbits. I’m hoping this shift will make for a more streamlined read and also bring a bit more topic diversity into the column. With that said, wild horses couldn’t drag me from the main story this week (it’s about wild horses). Then follow the trail of…
