The End is Coming Sooner Than We Thought?

[00:00:00]We know that the universe will end. But according to new research, the end is coming much sooner than we thought. For decades, cosmologists believe the big freeze was nearly an eternity away, roughly 10 to the power of 100 years.

[00:00:13]But physicists at Radbood University discovered that everything in the universe is slowly evaporating. We used to think only black holes evaporated through Hawking radiation. But this new study shows that any dense object like white dwarfs or neutron stars leaks energy through gravitational pair production. This means the universe's densest remnants will vanish in just 10 to the power of 78 years. It's a massive reduction in the lifespan of our cosmos.

[00:00:40]While we still have trillions of eons left, the big freeze will occur sooner than expected.
