US EditionNew Study Predicts Universe Will End in 10⁷⁸ Years Due to Stellar Remnant Decay
- Researchers from Radboud University published a 2025 study predicting the universe will end in 10^78 years due to stellar remnant decay.
- The new estimate follows discovery that all massive objects, including white dwarfs and neutron stars, lose energy via gravitational pair production.
- This process, similar to Hawking radiation known for black holes, shortens the universe's lifespan dramatically compared to prior estimates near 10^1100 years.
- Lead author Heino Falcke explained that although the universe will reach its final stage earlier than previously predicted, this process will nonetheless unfold over an extremely long period.
- This discovery implies the universe will quietly fade over unimaginable timescales, revising cosmological lifespan models while keeping the end far beyond any human scale.
