So scientists are not entirely certain about the heat death of the universe. The heat death is the most reasonable prediction given what we know but there could be a force acting across the universe that may very slowly reverse the expansion of the universe that we have yet to discover and cause a big crunch over a ridiculously large amount of time. The fact is predictions that far in the future aren't really very useful.

3 0 ReplyAh yes, the ol' "If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?" approach to preventing the death of the universe.
1 0 ReplyI don't quite understand. Care to elaborate?
1 0 ReplyExistence is in the eye of the beholder. For something to exist it must be observed.
It sounds like in the book you read performing general science would go towards observing the universe preventing its heat death?
I dunno if fully applicable, but that's what I got out of it :D
