If it’s “dying “ then it had a beginning, and it was caused by a force outside of it.
Is he talking about the state of maximum entropy, or the “heat death” of the universe? that’s old news. Real old news. If true, then it’s at an extremely distant date that can have no effect on the present time. In other words, useless article.
>>>or the ‘heat death’ of the universe
To expand on that a bit...
“the term ‘heat death’ doesn’t refer to actual heat... It’s a throwback to the 19th century vocabulary of thermodynamics. All physical systems tend towards a state of equilibrium, in which there is no net flow of energy.
For instance, gas molecules are confined by the walls of their container, but when the gas is released, the molecules disperse outward, until they are evenly spread out into the larger space.
If the second law were extrapolated to its logical conclusion, the entire universe would eventually reach a similar state of thermal equilibrium, with a uniform temperature throughout its vast expanse. Change would stop, and therefore time as we know it would cease. ...”
