The universe might collapse, after all

[The Original Happy Goat]

New data strengthens the idea that dark energy is weakening over time. The most important implication of this is that it might mean the universe, rather than expanding forever into a bleak and eternal heat death, might actually eventually start contracting until it collapses into a "big crunch."

Is dark energy getting weaker? Fresh data bolster shock finding

Physicists had long assumed that the elusive force has constant strength. But the latest results from a project to map the Universe’s expansion challenge this idea.

@snarlcakes you gonna be holding BTC into oblivion. Lfg. Live a little.

Based on the above I’m willing to offer you 20, no, 25 cents on the dollar!

Bitcoin fixes this too. Those physicists will have to get a real job once dirty fiat money goes away. I doubt anyone will take their conspiracy theories serious when they're door greeters at Wal-Mart

That is interesting. I have found the theories we are inside a black hole interesting. Maybe when the black hole is eating, dark energy goes up. When it is not, it goes down?

I obviously know crap about this, just love trying to think through implications.

I just hope it collapses into dark chocolate.
