I hope science is wrong this time, because if it's true a whole generation will never enjoy the beauty of stars at night

- danbruc 14y agoThat conclusion is wrong - the expansion of the universe will not tear apart galaxies because the stars are bound by gravity.
- pi18n 14y agoAccording to the redshift and mass measurements of distant galaxies, it seems like the universe is expanding faster than gravity would keep it together.
- drcube 14y agoThat's on an intergalactic scale. Theres no evidence that I know of that galaxies or galactic clusters will be torn apart from cosmic expansion.
- amalcon 14y agoThat generation will not get to live on Earth at all, because by then the sun will have expanded and swallowed it. Even ignoring that humans as we know them will not exist at that point, this is surely a bigger problem than the lack of stars.
- ww520 14y agoThe future generation will not see most of the stars in the universe due to accelerated expansion in the universe. The distant galaxies will move faster and faster away from us until their light has red-shifted to be dimmer than the CMB. We will be alone with our Milky Way, may be with some others nearby in the super cluster.
