End of the Universe Janet Kuypers spoken 10/9/23, completed 10/10/23 I submit: Us science types look for theories to explain what will happen to the Universe... I mean, we come up with theories — that’s what we science types do — we come up with these theories, and our job is to prove or disprove. And when it comes to postulating how the Universe will end, one theory is that... Even though the Universe is expanding now, gravity will reign supreme, and the Universe will collapse everything together again in the Big Crunch — before another Big Bang starts it all over again. Another theory is that the expansion of our Universe will reign supreme over gravity, the weakest of our four fundamental forces — everything will lose more and more energy, dissolving into nothingness Now, this would mean that energy — like radiation, it’s light waves would s t r e t c h, become visible light until it’s s  t  r  e  t  c  h  e  d, becoming ultra-violet light And if the Universe kept expanding like this, with this energy, and all this once light — it could, potentially, eventually s  t  r  e  t  c  h into audio waves... do our human frailties make the poet, philosopher anthropomorphize the science, for If this is what becomes of energy, would the Universe suddenly be very        noisy very dark, and very noisy Would the decibels go so up as the Universe makes a blanketing, overwhelming, post- matter-shattering series of sirens would it be a cacophony of chaos or... Because of that ever-expanding Universe, would the noises be so far away that they would only be faint pleas separated by no-longer-existing light-years but... would sounds be separated by ever-increasing parsecs so, instead of that cacophony would the ever-increasing space force these outstretched pleas, these tiny bits of energy travelling through space* alone getting more and more lonely would these tiny waves of energy travelling through space — would they even make a sound if no one is there to hear them   * from “Communication”
