Lecture 45: The Future of Life in the Universe
How will life, the Universe, and everything end? This lecture looks at\nthe evolution of our expanding Universe to project the prospects for\nlife into the distant cosmological future. Recent observations show\nthat we live in an infinite, accelerating universe. I will trace the\nevolution of the universe from the current age of stars into the future.\nThe final state of the Universe will be cold, dark, and disordered, and\nultimately inhospitable to life as we understand it or perhaps can\nimagine it. Recorded live on 2009 Dec 3 in Room 1005 Smith Laboratory\non the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
