Ja. Ja. Eventually, when our lives are over, everything goes back into the box. I thought so. It does not matter how long it will take, because just like you did not experience the time that passed before your birth, you will also not experience the time after your death. That is why Jesus said to the criminal hanging next to him: today you will be with me in paradise!!
As the story of our cosmos moves forward, stars will slowly burn out, planets will freeze over, and black holes will devour light itself. Eventually, on timescales so long humanity will never witness them, the universe will fade into darkness. But if you’ve ever wondered exactly when it all might end, you may find it oddly comforting, or perhaps a bit unsettling, to know that someone has actually done the math. As it turns out, this cosmic finale might arrive sooner than scientists previously thought.
Don’t worry, though — “sooner” still means a mind-bending 10 to the power of 78 years from now. That is a 1 followed by 78 zeros, which is unimaginably far into the future. However, in cosmic terms, this estimate is a dramatic advancement from the previous prediction of 10 to the power of 1,100 years, made by Falcke and his team in 2023.

Ha Henry, you had me there! Anyway, the universe will come to an end when it is time to come to an end. Nothing man can do will make a difference to the end of times
