A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics by three researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands has dramatically
You won’t get any time off though, and will still have to go into work.
Option 1 is hope for a new beginning too depending on certain theories.
There’s a lot of fancy math involved that I don’t understand but the upshot is that mathematically a completely barren uniform universe and an infinitely dense point are technically identical and theoretically one could spontaniously become the other.
The key is arbitrarily large timescales. It doesn’t really matter how small the chance of spontaneous self-organisation of a state of maximum entropy is because the timescales involved are effectively infinite.
That’s the scary part. There is a infinitely small probability that the state of maximum entropy will spontaneously organize in anything, right? Even into the exact form of you sitting in front of a computer and reading this comment. So on a infinite time scale at some point you will just pop out of nothing and suffocate in a vacuum, basically teleported from this very moment into future.
But not really because the universe as we understand it today has some limits on what it can organize itself into, right? So in the end we can end up with just cold emptiness forever. (if I understand all this correctly)
Of course, if we can prove those theories and we will know our universe will eventually give birth to a new one we won’t have to destroy it. But if we prove that the future is just infinite emptiness I think we should.

Ah yea, the topological restart !
