More “End of the Universe” Crap
Discredit: New Scientist
Readers know the
universe is infinite—it had no beginning and will have not end. And they also
know that “Dark Energy” was invented to save the Big Bang Theory—energy does
not exist; it is a calculation. I was especially amused by New Scientist
pushing the following two propaganda pieces in their lecture series. They even have
the nerve to charge 12£ for such nonsense.
Here it is straight from the “national enquirer of science”:
"THE END OF THE UNIVERSE
We know the universe had a beginning and physicists agree that one day
it will end, but how will it finish? Will our universe collapse in upon itself,
rip itself apart, or even – in the next five minutes – succumb to an
inescapable expanding bubble of doom?
Drawing on cutting-edge theory and brand new results from the most
powerful telescopes and particle colliders, theoretical astrophysicist Katie
Mack, explores five possible finales for the universe and what they would look
like (if anyone were still around to see
them): the Big Crunch, Heat Death, Vacuum Decay, the Big Rip and the Bounce.”

lecture...
WILL DARK ENERGY DESTROY THE UNIVERSE?
After 14 billion years, you might expect the expansion of the cosmos to
be slowing down. Professor of
astrophysics at the University of Sussex, Kathy Romer describes the mysterious
substance, known as dark energy, that seems to be causing the universe to rip
itself apart and introduces a new generation of industrial-scale international
astronomy projects seeking to explore the underlying physics.”
Egads!
Sorry this email notification came too late for you to enjoy this latest
attempt to spread Cosmogonical Fake News.
Oh well, maybe they will have a video you could watch for
giggles.

It's statements like this that always makes me cringe.
"We know the universe had a beginning and physicists agree that one day it will end, but how will it finish?"
Actually, some "believe" it had a beginning, and some physicists "believe" that one day it will end. In general though, physicists agree very little on creation theory, but they may agree to collaborate to publish something for 12£ a copy. Making money is about the only thing they seem to agree on here.
They don't "know" anything about a beginning, and most certainly don't know anything about an end, which makes the "how will it finish" a very silly and meaningless question. That's 3 deep in the minutiae based on an educated guess derived from assumptions.
All I can really say about the article is, don't bring "we" into it. I'm not a member of the "we" club. And I am most certain you aren't a member either Glenn.
They're really charging 12£ a copy?
I did catch this article the other day. Got through the first paragraph, but that was about it.
It's very irresponsible journalism. Fake news. Just think of all the millions of casual readers that get suckered into believing, "We know the universe had a beginning".
No, "we" don't, but some scientists and religious folks believe it had a beginning.
Thats really great blog, this blog have very nice information Thank you.
Middle East University was founded in 2005 as a non-profit institution that offered 12 postgraduate programmes. At the beginning of the 2008/2009 academic year, MEU widened its academic selections and began offering undergraduate programmes in a variety of fields . For more infromation Middle East University
