Text of footnotes in the original. I've added underlining wherever I thought it appropriate.
Observe how scientists willingly adjust their opinions whenever new data make it necessary. Observe too how the anti-science posters will spin this powerful strength of science to claim that these guys are just flip-floppers with no knowledge whatsoever.

"Universe will last for at least the next 24 billion years..." ...But women and minorities projected to be hardest hit.

So we have 24 billion versus 11 billion years. I had been going to make a will but I may put it off now.

You can breathe a sigh of relief: the Universe will last for at least the next 24 billion years The arrogant fools haven't a clue. It could fold up and close like a bad book, or go on trillions of years, if not indefinitely.

Telescope3, which has found several supernovae that are moving away from us faster than any others seen before, **implying** that the Universe is expanding faster than we thought. Hehe....

the Universe will last for at least the next 24 billion years,
Earth is estimated to last another 5 billion years.
Man, conscious beings are the only known living thing that can understand nature to control nature. In 3,000 years of man's efforts to better understnad nature to control it there has been -- aside from the dark ages -- an ever increasing advancement of technology to benefit man.
We can't even imagine what technologies we'll have in a million years. Or even a hundred years. Most important is the increase in human longevity. There will come a time, sooner rather than latter where conscious man will reach youth rejuvenating biologic immortality on Earth.
Five billion years as way more time than it will take for man to create or travel to a another solar system to live.
Physicists are still divided about the fate of the Universe.
Five billion years is more than enough time to learn how to control nature to interdict the big crunch. The big crunch never happens. If not interdicted by conscious man on Earth then the big crunch has already been interdicted by conscious beings living among the billion of galaxies with a billion stars each. Immortal conscious beings that began their civilization five billion years prior to our Sun formed.
The three macro components of the Universe are mater, energy and conscious beings.

By then, we'll all be so old, we'll have forgotten why we want the universe to last, anyway.
