00:30The Holocene has ended.

00:52What we do now, and in the next few years, will profoundly affect the next few thousand

01:00years.

01:01The only conditions modern humans have ever known so far are changing, and changing fast.

01:13Nothing stays the same on this planet.

01:16Everything changes.

01:17The Earth is going into one of these jumps and you don't know what is going to be on

01:22the other side of those jumps.

01:23The Earth is always jumping.

01:24Things move on this planet.

01:25Things are not still.

02:59As it begins to run out of fuel,

03:02the sun won't simply fade away to nothing

03:07It's core will collapse

03:09and the extra heat it generates

03:11will cause it's outer layers to expand

03:14The sun is now dead. It's remained slowly cooling in the freezing temperatures of deep

03:29space. The fate of the sun is the same as for all stars. One day, they must all eventually

03:47die, and the cosmos will be plunged into eternal night. All stars eventually will run out of

03:57fuel. The temperature of the universe drops. The stars, one by one, in the night sky, will turn off.

04:05And there'll be no more new stars created. And so that the universe will end, not with a bang,

04:16but with a winter. And not in fire, but in ice.

04:27The sun is now dead. It's remained slowly cooling in the freezing temperatures of deep

04:41space. The fate of the sun is the same as for all stars. One day, they must all eventually

04:56die. With no fuel left to burn, a white dwarf's faint glow comes from the last residual heat

05:08from its extinguished furnace. Looking at it from where the earth is now, it would only

05:18generate the same amount of light as the full moon on a clear night. The faint glow of white

05:30dwarfs will provide the only illumination in a dark and empty void, littered with dead stars

05:38and black holes. In some ways, it's kind of a ghost universe. It's the corpses, the zombie stars,

05:55that will take us into the future.

07:08A black dwarf will be the final fate of those last stars. White dwarfs that have become so cold

07:19that they barely emit any more heat or light. Black dwarfs are dark, dense, decaying balls of

07:31degenerate matter. Little more than the ashes of stars. Their constituent atoms are so severely

07:41crushed that black dwarfs are a million times denser than our sun. Stars take so long to reach

07:56this point, we believe there are currently no black dwarfs in the universe.

08:56We have a pace of life that's based on really the energy available to us now. You could imagine

09:11living conscious systems which have a very different pace and therefore can extend out at

09:17least a lot farther than you'd imagine otherwise. You could have a living system where if it had a

09:24thought every 10 trillion years, that would seem normal. Even if our life dies out, one could

09:33imagine at some time arbitrarily far in the future, a fluctuation occurs which allows intelligent life

09:41to exist again for a little while. So you might have islands in time of intelligence.

10:12So

10:34a proton, one of the fundamental building blocks of atomic matter, what makes us up,

10:40can just spontaneously fall apart. Any material that evades the pull of a black hole

10:47eventually dies away as its protons disintegrate.

11:10So the matter inside black dwarfs, the last matter in the universe, will eventually evaporate away

11:26and be carried off into the void as radiation leaving absolutely nothing behind.

11:40With the black dwarfs gone, there won't be a single atom of matter left.

11:50All that will remain of our once rich cosmos will be particles of light and black holes.

12:40So

12:57the arrow of time creates a bright window in the universe's adolescence

13:02during which life is possible.

13:03But it's a window that doesn't stay open for long.

13:15As a fraction of the lifespan of the universe, as measured from its beginning to the evaporation

13:22of the last black hole, life as we know it is only possible for one thousandth of a billion billion

13:30billionth billion billion billion billion billion billionth of a percent.

13:45Black holes become the fundamental building block of the universe.

13:53A galaxy will basically be a supermassive black hole in the center with smaller black holes forming.

14:00Zombie galaxies filled with black holes continue to evolve.

14:10They'll eat each other and they'll get bigger and maybe they'll fall into the supermassive

14:13black hole and it'll get bigger. The universe will still be an exciting dynamic place. It's

14:18just that the time scales we're talking about are now trillions of years instead of

14:22thousands or millions of years.

14:30So

14:39so

14:56black holes can bang on space-time like mallets on a drum.

15:09And they have a very characteristic song.

15:18Imagine two black holes that have lived a long life together.

15:22At the end of their lives they're going around each other crossing thousands of kilometers in

15:26a fraction of a second. As they do so they leave behind in their wake a ringing of space, an actual

15:37wave on space-time.

15:53Space squeezes and stretches as it emanates out from these black holes banging on the universe.

16:03Those are the gravitational waves. They're literally the sounds of space ringing and

16:07they will travel out from these black holes at the speed of light as they ring down

16:12and coalesce to one spinning quiet black hole.

16:21If you were standing near enough your ear would resonate

16:25with the squeezing and stretching of space. You would literally hear the sound.

16:32So imagine a lighter black hole falling into a very heavy black hole. The sound you're hearing

16:45is a light black hole banging on space each time it gets close.

16:51So

16:58as it falls in it gets faster and it gets louder.

17:21Scientists used to think black holes were immortal but even these will one day die.

17:29Now we're talking about time scales of unimaginable length quadrillions of years

17:34into the future. On that time scale even the black holes begin to evaporate.

17:51According to quantum mechanics space is filled with virtual particles and antiparticles that are

17:59constantly materializing in pairs, separating, coming together again and annihilating each other.

18:13In the presence of a black hole one member of a pair of virtual particles may fall into the hole.

18:21Leaving the other member without a partner with which to annihilate.

18:27The forsaken particle appears to be radiation emitted by the black hole.

18:36And so black holes are not eternal.

18:41They evaporate away at an increasing rate until they vanish in a gigantic explosion.

18:57Quantum mechanics has allowed particles and radiation

19:02to escape from the ultimate prison, a black hole.

20:02So

20:17philosophers and poets have asked the question will the world end in fire or ice?

20:23We can now give an answer.

20:26The latest evidence shows that the universe is not slowing down but it's speeding up out of control

20:33and the universe we think will die in ice. Trillions upon trillions of years from now.

20:43Empty space itself has energy. In every little cubic centimeter of space

20:48whether or not there's stuff, whether or not there's particles, matter, radiation or whatever

20:52there is still energy even in the space itself.

21:00And this energy according to Einstein exerts a push on the universe.

21:07What is the weird stuff that's accelerating the universe? We call it dark energy.

21:14And this stuff is the dominant stuff of the universe. Almost three quarters of the matter

21:20energy content of the universe is this dark energy and we don't know what it is.

21:29Dark energy unlike matter or radiation does not dilute away as the universe expands.

21:36This has crucial implications for what the universe is going to do in the future.

21:43So what will be the future of the universe?

21:45Well, if the dark energy remains dominant and repulsive, the universe will expand forever.

21:59Faster and faster and faster with time. A runaway universe.

22:0670% of the energy of the universe resides in empty space and we don't understand it.

22:15Why? But we do know what will happen if that energy continues to be there.

22:24The universe will become cold and dark and empty.

22:30That's the future as it might be. We don't know because we don't yet understand the nature of

22:36dark energy. Until we do, we won't know the future. We won't even understand our own origins

22:41and that's why we want to know and study this subject.

23:42So

23:52the forecast does seem to be for an ever colder ever empty universe.

24:03But then of course we have to ask could that end lead to a new beginning?

24:08And there are ideas whereby what actually is the end of our universe could in some sense be linked

24:13to the beginning of a new one.

24:37So

24:43we've worked out the mathematics, the equations. They seem to say that if you have an atom smasher

24:48that can concentrate tremendous amounts of energy at a single point,

24:53you can perhaps open up a gateway, a baby universe.

24:57Facing the death of everything there is, this perhaps is their only possibility of escape.

25:06And this also raises a very intriguing possibility, sheer speculation of course,

25:11that perhaps any universe that has intelligent life in it will create baby universes,

25:17will create lifeboats and proliferate child universes.

25:21So an evolution may take among universes in the multiverse.

25:26Survival of the fittest may take place.

25:30So those universes which do not have intelligent life are infertile,

25:34they have no children. But those universes that have mild temperatures,

25:38stars like us, would create civilizations that could open up child universes.

25:42And they would then proliferate.

26:12So

26:42so

27:12so

27:24after an unimaginable length of time, even the black holes will have evaporated and the universe

27:32will be nothing but a sea of photons gradually tending towards the same temperature as the

27:39expansion of the universe cools them towards absolute zero.

27:57Once the very last remnants of the very last stars have finally decayed away to nothing,

28:03and everything reaches the same temperature, the story of the universe finally comes to an end.

28:15For the first time in its life, the universe will be permanent and unchanging.

28:21Entropy finally stops increasing because the cosmos cannot get any more disordered.

28:27Nothing happens and it keeps not happening forever.

28:57you
