It also makes a pretty bold claim about us actually knowing the lifespan of the universe.
That's not bold, we've known how long the universe will last for decades now.
Just because someone tells you something, doesn't mean they actually know what they're talking about. fyi
When multiple fields of science all agree, yeah they know what they're talking about.
I just don't get these anti-science types...
How are they defining the end of the universe?
The universe is believed to end just a few nanoseconds before a monkey finishes writing Hamlet.
Probably very shortly after dinner has been served at that restaurant.
I think that was just a galaxy, not the whole universe.
But what does the Lord think about this?
You mean the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
Hmm.... i sit corrected.
Heat death would be my assumption, so between about 10^100 and 10^106 years
We know such an infinitesimally small amount about what is actually happening in the universe that any claims to be capable of predicting it's end are patently absurd.
