Do you think we'll ever have the technology to figure out exactly when the universe will end?

I say who cares which implies I don’t care but I do, just that from a religious standpoint it doesn’t really matter as our current universe is nothing but a speck in the eternity of the afterlife

We know the sun will blow up right? And that’s aaaaaages away. Deal with that one first I reckon.

That’s probably pretty easy to predict though

There are prediction models

There’s the big crunch model - the expansion slows down, reverses and the universe shrinks back down to a singularity again. This may have already happened infinite times

The steady state model - the universe expands to perfect gravitational equilibrium

And the infinitely expanding model - self explanatory

Trouble is that the predictive margin of error means that any of these is plausible

Probably be one of those classic things where some boffin cracks it, notes the time, then turns to look at the clock and realises - oh shit! - it’s happening tonight!

It already happened. Our existence is just the equivalent of gas escaping from a corpse.
