"The Universe as we know it is condemned to death. Space, matter and even time will one day cease to exist and there's nothing we can do about it. Harsh realities are revealed about the future of our Universe; it may collapse and burn or it might be gripped by a galactic ice age. Either of these scenarios might be a long way off. However, our Universe could suddenly be destroyed by a "random quantum fluctuation", a bubble of destruction that can obliterate the entire cosmos in the blink of an eye. No matter how it ends, life in our Universe is doomed. "

A thought provoking show I've have the pleasure of watching just two episodes thus far on a recent trip. Nice show.

Our universe will die, because of stellar drift. It is expanding and so everything is getting farther and farther apart. Eventually, in something like 1X10^27 years or so it will just die.

does this happen just one time? Or when all is said and done, do we just restart the movie? Or is there an infinite number of ways the movie could be played out? Or there is no answer to that?

[yippleflipple]

do "random quantum fluctuations" happen all at once everywhere? or restricted by speed of light?
