The universe is contracting because we are but a drop on a microscope slide in an alien laboratory. The slide has been placed near a window and we are drying out....
Can’t wait for the next revision. And the one after that. Science theories are fun, they change like the weather.
I was under the impression that science tells us matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Isn’t the universe matter? Gas and dust? How can it be destroyed if it can’t be created and vice versa? And how then is the universe disappearing?
Didn’t Edwin Hubble prove that the universe was actually expanding?
Yeah, yeah, you’re right! Blazers are red. They’re red! And sometimes they’re blue... like Blue Blazes... er Blazers.. or whatever... yeah, Imposters! I’ve seen ‘em too!.
So, basically, Zeno was right.
Might as well stay home.
If it’s still there.
Unless we develop the capacity for intergalactic travel and head out to other galaxy groups and clusters, humanity will forever be stuck in our local group.
....
75% of stars are red dwarfs. Red dwarfs will shine for trillions of years. There will be energy available for a long time, and in comparison the Universe is still young.
Will the CMB be visible in the future?
Here’s a related article that crazy people like me find interesting:

None of that really matters as we, and all the rest of the known universe, are moving rapidly towards the Great Attractor - a mass so dense that everything is pulled toward it. So in some millions on billions of years from now we will finally arrive at our final destination ...
His being hidden doesn’t stop me from bugging Him when I misplace the key to a car, truck, tractor, motorcycle, whatever.........which is not infrequent at my age!
And He is so full of mercy and love that He always (eventually) answers my cry! Missing my #1 key to my car right now! Missing for last week!
Delta refigured the miles. Sorry, you lost most of them.
Bingo! Every time I see an article about "the fabric of space", I immediately conclude that the author doesn't know what he is talking about. It's even worse if he writes about "the fabric of space/time". It simply proves to me that the author is hiding his ignorance behind ill defined jargon.
Only in the most theoretical labs, and there are many, is consciousness consciously considered. It is the fabric of God consciousness and the most essential stuff of intergalactic travel. It is the key to entanglement and is essential to understanding string theory.
With expanded consciousness we are able to know creation. In mind and thought we can travel the expanses of infinite space and time without effort, instantaneously.
There is no death in consciousness. There is the oneness of reality.
Dark energy gives us the Big Rip, which is a totally cool way to end God’s story. It will be visible. You will literally see the galaxies dissolving one by one, then the stars, then the planets, then the Earth itself.

Jesus said the Earth and the heavens will pass away, and it will be spectacular.
The big bang was a one time event and speaks so loudly of God’s design that the atheists now believe in parallel universes. :)
There’s too much fine-tuning required for life to exist not only on Earth, but our solar system is special too, so is our Milky Way galaxy, and frankly so is the universe. Things like the universal constants have to be just right or life can’t ever exist anyway.
So when I was little the atheists came up with the oscillating universe to explain away the need for God to make things just right for life. That was the belief that the big bang is repeated endlessly, and that each big bang re-writes the laws of physics until by random chance a universe is created that can support life. This was taught by the time I went through school
But two decades ago the Hubble Telescope could see far enough away to realize that the universe’s expansion is accelerating, not contracting. This means that the stuff spread out over the universe isn’t preparing to slow down the expansion and eventually come back to one point and repeat the big bang. The big bang was a One Time Event. Video game consoles have a reset button if things don’t turn out like you want. But the universe had to be just right the first time because there won’t be a second chance.
Want to nerd up on this on your own? Google up the universal constants, which don’t change from place to place or from time to time. They’re the same always everywhere. Also, go to www.reasons.org to see some Christians who are old earthers and read their creation model.
