And Then, Time To Be Scared…

   …be very scared. If all that’s going on in this goofy world right now, wot with wars, co-co, cost of living an’ such, is giving you sleepless nights of worry, here’s something I spotted in the ‘news’ today that really, really caps it all.
   And that would be? Well, it seems the universe in wot we live, that’s been expanding for a jolly long time now, could be going into contraction mode remarkably soon which would obviously be the end of it all. And that would include you, my little nest of vipers and me. Queue yet more sleepless nights of worry eh?
   Man, wot to do? You think it’s a tad early to start cancelling things like satellite TV contracts? Any point in her buying that new colander?
   Oh, hang on a remarkably short moment there; after giving it a proper read it seems their understanding of  ‘remarkably soon’ and ‘rapidly’, differ somewhat from mine;
According to their model, the acceleration of the universe could rapidly end within the next 65 million years — then, within 100 million years, the universe could stop expanding altogether, and instead it could enter an era of slow contraction that ends billions of years from now with the death — or perhaps the rebirth — of time and space.
   So nothing for me to do with any great urgency just yet then other than do all I can, rapidly, to prevent global temperatures rising by more than half a degree, but that’s only common sense…
   Well, so, just how tight is time then?
