US EditionNew Study Predicts Universe Will End in 10⁷⁸ Years Due to Stellar Remnant Decay
- Three scientists from Radboud University in Nijmegen calculated in 2025 that the universe will end in about 10^78 years due to the decay of stellar remnants.
- This finding revises previous estimates near 10^1100 years by including the evaporation of neutron stars and white dwarfs through Hawking-like radiation.
- The researchers showed that massive objects leak energy via gravitational pair production, causing dense bodies like neutron stars to decay faster.
- Lead author Heino Falcke explained that although the final conclusion regarding the universe’s fate occurs earlier than previously thought, this event remains extremely distant in the future.
- This study implies even the most durable cosmic remnants will gradually evaporate, shortening the universe's lifespan while remaining far beyond human timescales.

The universe is dying much faster than scientists thought, new study suggests
Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are decaying much faster than previously thought. The estimate of stellar remnant decay is based on Stephen Hawking's famous black hole radiation theory.
The universe is dying faster than we thought
The end of the universe has always felt like a distant abstraction. But new calculations suggest that our original timeline might have been wildly optimistic. According to a team of Dutch scientists, the universe is dying much faster than anyone thought, and could cease to exist within 10 to the power of 78 years. That’s still inconceivably far away (more than trillions of years, for context). But compared to earlier estimates, it’s like the hea…
Scientists Have Now Determined The Universe Is Going To End Much Sooner Than Expected
Cosmos-Universe Scientists at Radboud University in the Netherlands have revealed that, according to a new calculation, the universe will end “much sooner than expected.” Thankfully, all human life on Earth will be long gone by then. The previous calculation for the end of the universe was that is would occur around 10^1,100 years from now (that’s a 1 followed by 1,100 zeroes). The new calculation drops that number all the way down to 10^78 year…
Science breakthrough as experts discover universe is decaying FASTER than expected
Scientists at Radboud University in the Netherlands have calculated the exact moment when our universe will cease to exist.Their groundbreaking research reveals that everything will end in one quinvigintillion years - a one followed by 78 zeros.This timeline is significantly shorter than previous estimates, which suggested the universe would last for 10 to the power of 1,100 years.The dramatic reduction comes after researchers discovered that th…
