The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 1078 years to perish. That is much shorter than the previously postulated 101100 years.

    For comparison, if you had a deck of 52 playing cards and shuffled them into a random order, then checked a year later to see if they were in the same order as when you opened the box, reshuffled if they weren’t, and repeated another year later, and so on…

    We can use the cumulative distribution function of the geometric distribution 1 - (1 - p)k, where p is the per-trial probability and k is the number of trials, to find the chance that you’ll find at least one correctly sorted deck from now until the time in this paper. There’s a… Well, SageMath failed because of the exponent, but Wolfram Alpha tells me, uhhhhh…

    Yeaaaaaaaaah, we’re not going anywhere any time soon.

    Hopefully we can find a younger universe to move to by then.

    … Recently we found evidence that spacetime curvature alone without the need for an event horizon leads to black hole evaporation (… this is pair generation !). …

    Great ! Now tell me : what’s the implications of this on cosmological spacetime curvature ?

    the quote is from :

    original article:
