> The End of the Universe Will Happen Sooner Than Expected

A new study led by researchers from Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands, suggests that the universe could reach its end significantly earlier than previously believed. Published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, the research offers a major revision to long-standing estimates of the universe’s lifespan. The team based its calculations on Hawking radiation, a phenomenon first proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking in the 1970s, which predicts that black holes emit radiation and gradually lose mass over time.

Until now, estimates for the end of the universe stretched as far as 10110010^{1100}101100 years into the future. However, the new calculations submit a drastically shorter timeline: approximately 107810^{78}1078 years. Lead author Heino Falcke explained that “the final end of the universe is coming much sooner than expected,” although he emphasized that it still lies “a very long time” ahead. The results don’t suggest any immediate risk, but they do point to a much more dynamic long-term evolution of the cosmos than scientists had previously modeled.
