"Ultimately it increases entropy... let me tell you about the heat death of the universe..."

"No, Mom! I'm still afraid of the False Vacuum monster laying underneath my ground state!"

If those were likely to hapoen during our lifetime then they would have already. Now prion disease...

Good night!

Scare me with prion disease?

So scientists are not entirely certain about the heat death of the universe. The heat death is the most reasonable prediction given what we know but there could be a force acting across the universe that may very slowly reverse the expansion of the universe that we have yet to discover and cause a big crunch over a ridiculously large amount of time. The fact is predictions that far in the future aren't really very useful.

Does quantum foam occasionally spawn a new big bang

I read a SciFi book where there was a group in the world that does general science in the name of averting the heat death of the universe.

Elect-ro-weak and Higgs field
