As we approach the end of Crash Course Astronomy, it’s time now to acknowledge that our Universe’s days are numbered. Stars will die out after a few trillion years, protons will decay and matter will dissolve after a thousand trillion trillion trillion years, black holes will evaporate after 10^92 years, and then all will be dark. But there is still hope that a new Universe will be born from it.

Der Nesor says:

So the cosmic reboot expands at the speed of light … but which one ? Our old one , the maybe new speed of light, maybe there is no speedlimit in the new universe…. Two physics actually literally colliding , how could you not love science!

Brandon Bickaroo says:

PHIL SAID DOOBIE-DO ^_^

Cristian Garcia says:

This was the most interesting/saddest video ever. Mix feeling now =?

Peder Hansen says:

how can they confidently state the universe is 14 billion years..when we don`t see the edge of this universe. yes..i know about wmap, planck and the background radiation. but they are basing this theory upon layers of other theories that all can be wrong. don`t be surprised if this changes with a big number a few years from now. I would respect these scientists a lot more if they didn`t produce these things as facts. because they clearly aren`t

Veronika Alcoba says:

The thought of Crash Course Astronomy ending soon makes me sick.

On to Crash Course Pornography!

Time is a tool you can put on a wall, or wear it on your wrist.
The past is far behind us, the future doesn't exist.

mozilla82 says:

I feel small. Really small.

Robin Hice says:

I've had the thought before that our expansions and colapses might be like heartbeats. As if our entire universe is a cell in the heart of what some would call God.

Joe Masters says:

Just mind blowing.

Nordivision says:

If time is just evolution of entropy, shouldn't time kind of stop when the last particle decays and the complete equilibrium stage begins

rediius says:

I love how in the middle of a very technical explanation he refers to the "doobly do" in the description.

Please don't end this Crashcourse-Series before we have at least reached the end of the Stelliferous Era! That would be great, thanks!

jbhballe520 says:

How can there be more universes if the our universe is infinite and expanding into nothing? Is that not true? Also what about singularities?

Kristoff says:

A universe whose fires and warmth are going out, slowly being replaced by inevitable cold, darkness… Dark Souls, anyone?
