In a research paper published in 2010 pleasantly titled, eternal inflation predicts that time will end, researchers predict that the universe will end in about 5 billion years, ironically around the same time in which our sun is about to end.
How many years are left in the universe?
Eventually, 100 trillion years from now, all star formation will cease, ending the Stelliferous Era that's be running since not long after our universe first formed. Much later, in the so-called Degenerate Era, galaxies will be gone, too. Stellar remnants will fall apart.What will happen to the universe in 5 billion years?
Scientists have long known the fate of our solar system – and likely the fate of Earth itself. In a few billion years, the Sun will run out of fusion fuel and expand to a “red giant” phase, likely swallowing everything in the solar system up to the orbit of Mars.Will the universe have an end?
Scientists now consider it unlikely the universe has an end — a region where the galaxies stop or where there would be a barrier of some kind marking the end of space.Is time Travelling possible?
Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel.TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time (4K)
Is the Big Rip possible?
One grim possible outcome is a Big Rip, which would ultimately unravel all matter down to the atomic level—though not for billions of years or longer.What will humans look like in 100000 years?
100,000 Years From TodayWe will also have larger nostrils, to make breathing easier in new environments that may not be on earth. Denser hair helps to prevent heat loss from their even larger heads. Our ability to control human biology means that the man and woman of the future will have perfectly symmetrical faces.
