the galaxies will fly out of sight, beyond the horizon of what we can
possibly see. Next, the stars in our own galaxy will burn out, one after
the other. The only thing that will remain, is a dull graveyard of cold
planets, dead suns and black holes. In about one hundred trillion
years, the Milky Way will go black, astronomers expect. And
eventually, even this graveyard decays. One after the other, the dead
stars and planets are eaten by black holes, or kicked out of the Milky
Way by collisions. Astronomers expect that in one hundred to one
thousand billion billion years, our galaxy has dissolved completely. Time
goes on. After a while (more trillions of years) something else will
kick in. You’ll notice that even the very stuff nature is made of, isn’t
stable. A proton, the particle you’ll find in the core of atoms, has an
average lifetime of 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
years. Wait long enough, and it will suddenly vanish. Poof, gone. The
same goes for light particles, the so-called ‘photons’. They’re expected
to last a few zero’s longer, but in the end, they too will kick the
bucket, one after the other. Isn’t that just bizarre? The light will go
out, literally. The last thing that survives, are the black
holes. But in the end, they too will vanish. They will evaporate in a
puff of radiation.
