SOURCE www.cbsnews.com
New research by Dutch scientists suggests that the universe will end much sooner than previously thought, but we still have a very long time before it happens. The study focuses on the dissolution of white dwarf stars based on Hawking radiation. Additional research indicates that dark energy, which makes up a significant portion of the universe, may be weakening.
