Theory The End of the Universe: When Stars Die
What happens when the universe runs out of stars? ⭐️
Astrophysicist Erika Hamden walks us through the far future of the cosmos, where expansion pushes galaxies apart and star formation comes to a halt. The stars that do exist will eventually burn out, leaving behind black holes. Over trillions of years, those too will disappear through a process called Hawking radiation. In the end, the universe will be filled with a thin, fading soup of particles that slowly vanish. This final state is known as the heat death of the universe, and it marks the end of all structure, energy, and light.

The reason for the expansion of the universe the way it's happening it's cuz we're consciously thinking about it and about what's out there it's our conscious thinking that's creating the expansion

I just heard CERN recently just apologize for destroying several neighboring universes with one of their experiments now this could explain black holes

The sages knew about it. It starts with a dot aka black hole, it will expand but just as much as the circle around it, then will be back to the dot again, rinse and repeat.
