New Study Predicts Universe Will End in 10⁷⁸ Years Due to Stellar Remnant Decay
- Three scientists from Radboud University calculated in 2023 that the universe will end in about 10^78 years due to stellar remnant decay.
- Their research followed earlier beliefs that black hole evaporation determined cosmic lifespan, but the team found a similar process affects neutron stars and white dwarfs.
- They discovered that gravitational pair production causes all massive objects to lose energy gradually, making white dwarfs the longest-lasting stellar corpses at about 10^78 years.
- Lead author Heino Falcke explained that although the final end of the universe will occur earlier than previously thought, it remains a process that will take an extremely long time to unfold.
- This finding shortens the estimated universe lifespan from around 10^1100 years and implies that cosmic remnants will quietly evaporate rather than ending with a dramatic event.

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…
Life and everything we know in the universe will end sooner than we thought
Even black holes – ancient behemoths that destroy all – will ‘evaporate’ one day (Picture: Getty Images) Scientists say they have figured out the universe’s ‘death date’, when everything we see in the night sky will disappear forever. The universe is believed to have originated in a fiery burst 13.8billion years ago, splattering matter throughout space in a moment called the Big Bang. Dutch scientists believe they know exactly when the universe …


Eerie 'death date' for end of the universe is much closer, scientists reveal
OUR universe is set to end far sooner than we thought – so if you planned on living forever, there’s bad news. Scientists have calculated a possible “death date” for our universe, revealing how long it will take for all stars to decay. Daniëlle Futselaar/artsource.nlThis is an artistic impression of a neutron star “evaporating” slowly through Hawking-like radiation – and they mean very slowly[/caption] NASAThe universe is brimming with galaxies …
