Open Universe?
Forever expanding, meaning time without end?
I refuse to believe this. What it essentially means is that the universe expands forever, and eventually everything in the universe will reach a temperature of absolute zero. Any life in the universe would be long dead before that point is reached. Regardless of what "they" say, they'll never be able to convince me of it. I don't even care if that belief is irrational. Ultimately, we won't know for sure for a loooooooooong time, so it really doesn't matter.
