So what is everything made from?

So. Lets assume the universe is not expanding or contracting. What happens to everything in the end. When all the energy has exhausted itself.
Does everything just, well, stop?

BTW I’m not religious and I’m not that fussed about death. Just like the idea that the universe will happen again and I will be reborn.
Of course I won’t know if that’s happened already?

:applause: ROFL,trying hard not spill my tea or crumble up a bit of cake 🙂

RE 51

Relevant or not. Priceless! Snafu, I wouldn’t admit this for the world but, I’m beginning to warm to you. Don’t let me down – write something horrible.

Ah it was as simple as that? Not being much of a cake eater it didn’t seem of much relevance to our discussion. Sorry.

Snaf – ??

Um, if I can make this easy on you… When you are dead you don’t do a lot of eating, and if you aren’t eating thenyou must be dead. Think of all the cake you aren’t eating since you are dead.

Cake: better than bread – it is a well known fact that all mass murders have been shown to have consumed bread at some point in their lives.

Linc – oh yes absolutely!
Snaf – ??

my only sadness about death is that I will miss the discoveries and development of scientific knowledge in the decades to come.

Meh, what about cake? All that baked and iced confectionery that you will never get to eat…;o)

Too true, Linc and my only sadness about death is that I will miss the discoveries and development of scientific knowledge in the decades to come.

Yes BUT look at the wonderful times you have lived through,the sights you saw,the discoveries that were made.

“WE” Chas will never know in another 50 yrs. Unless they can bring back the dead…………………..:dev2:

On the contrary we understand a great deal and certainly a great deal more than we did a century ago. But we are just at the beginning of the process just as we have been many times before with many other discoveries. That’s what is so exciting. How much more will we know in another half century?

IMHO all this stuff about a Big Bang is just a fig leaf to hide the fact that, like the rest of us, our finest brains don’t really have a clue how it all started, where it came came from, etc.

Absolutely-alot of people need reassurance and some don’t.I suspect that quite a few change their minds at the last minutes of their lives ,if indeed they are still conscious at this point.
I am not religious,i just believe in right and wrong and good and bad and i hope that i live healthily enough to see what discoveries will be made in the future regarding space/time.

Might I respectfully suggest that some people need reassurance, as you suggest, but many do not. I am curious, intrigued and fascinated but have never been fearful at all. In fact I don’t know anyone who is. And those religious believers in the afterlife have no need to fear the unknown because it isn’t, for them.

Trump – are they? What of?

The end-no answers,no return,being alone,not knowing.People like reassurance that there is something else ,it’s why heaven was invented to placate those who need reassurance.

Re 28

Electricity.

People are scared of there being nothing else,either after death or out here in universe and space.

The theories of multiuniverses and brane theory offer alternatives to there being nothing and suddenly a Big Bang.
