Forget about the threat that mankind poses to the Earth: our
activities may be shortening the life of the universe too.
The startling claim is made by a pair of American cosmologists
investigating the consequences for the cosmos of quantum theory, the
most successful theory we have.
New Scientist reports a worrying new variant as the cosmologists claim
that astronomers may have accidentally nudged the universe closer to
its death by observing dark energy, a mysterious anti gravity force
which is thought to be speeding up the expansion of the cosmos.
IMHO, Dark energy might turn to be just an artifact due to the fact
that our theories of gravity are incorrect.- Hide quoted text -
what's spooky is that, whatever it is, there's something there....
