How's it all gonna end? (taglines)

Anthropocene

2019 -- 2020 -- 2021...

• What we do now, and in the next few years,
  will profoundly affect the next few thousand years.
  David Attenborough
• Nothing stays the same on this planet. Things are not still!
  Craig Childs

Transition

Context: Earth is now destroyed by the dying Sun.

• The fate of the Sun is the same as for all stars.
  One day, they must all eventually die.
  Brian Cox
• The universe will end not with a bang, but with a whimper.
  And not in fire, but in ice.
  Neil deGrasse Tyson

Degenerate Era

[White dwarfs] would only generate the same amount of light as a full Moon on a clear night. Brian Cox

• In some ways, it's kind of a ghost universe.
  It's the corpses, the zombie stars, that will take us to the future.
  Michelle Thaller

Proton decay

• Any material that evades the pull of a black hole
  eventually dies away
  as its protons disintegrate.
  Neil deGrasse Tyson

Black Hole Era

• Imagine two black holes that have lived a long life...
  at the end of their lives, they're going around each other.
  As they do so, they leave in behind of their wake a ringing of space, and actual wave on spacetime.
  Janna Levin

Hawking Radiation

• Black holes are not immortal.
  Stephen Hawking

Dark energy

• Empty space itself has energy.
  In every little cubic centimeter of space, whether or not there's stuff,
  whether or not there's particles, matter, whatever, there's still energy even in the space itself.
  Sean Carroll

End

• We, [of course], have to ask, "Could [the] end lead to a new beginning?"
  And there are ideas, whereby what actually is the end of our universe, could in some sense,
  lead to the beginning of a new one.
  Alex Filippenko

Some speculate that we could create a 'baby universe.'

If there is no way, then the universe will be bathed in light one last time.

TIME BECOMES MEANINGLESS Once the very last remnants and the very last stars
have finally decayed away to nothing,
the story of the universe
finally
comes to an end.
Nothing happens,
and it keeps not happening...,
...forever....

EVERYTHING HAS ITS WONDERS, EVEN DARKNESS AND SILENCE.
AND I LEARN, WHATEVER STATE I MAY BE IN, THEREIN TO BE CONTENT.
'HELLEN KELLER
