ICRAR: What we know so far is that the universe μας άρχισε να υπάρχει περίπου 14 δισεκατομμύρια χρόνια πριν στον απόηχο του Big Bang, που περιγράφεται από τους επιστήμονες σαν μια ξαφνική και γρήγορη επέκταση της ύλης σε μια κατάσταση εξαιρετικά υψηλής πυκνότητας και temperatures.
We also know that after the Big Bang, the universe continues to expand. Well, as it turns out, the universe is slowly starting to "go out."
Having studied more than 200.000 galaxies and energy efficiency part of the space occupied, astronomers have found evidence that the world is dying. The truth is, everything is happening at a very leisurely pace, but they happen.
Scientists are not entirely sure about how long it will take to turn off the lights, but have no doubt that the world is coming to an end.
"The universe will shrink from now on, as it slowly reaches old age. "The universe is basically sitting on the couch, covered with a blanket and ready to take off for an eternal sleep," says his researcher. ICRAR Simon Driver.
As mentioned, in a research that has as its theme the death of the universe (to be published in the magazine "Monthly Notices") the produced energy in the Universe today, it is only half of what it was 2 billion years ago.
Η team of researchers focused on recording and documenting all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet to infrared, and discovered that, these days, the universe produces about 50% less energy than it did about 2 billion years ago.
Young galaxies produce less energy than their progenitors. Besides, the old ones αστέριa disappear much faster than the rate at which new ones are born.
This means that the universe is gradually disintegrating and eventually going to die. Scientists estimate it will take a few trillions of years until the last star dies, so there is no reason to worry.
Scientists first reported that the universe is dying in the 1990 decade.
