    The universe today is happy and healthy, with exciting things going on - but at some point the night will turn dark. Everything that once was, will peacefully sleep forever.
    But what is the last thing that will ever happen? Let's travel to the end of the universe…

    One of the most harrowing and humbling facts about the far future is that once you get to a certain point, it really doesn't matter what units you're measuring time in. When you get to numbers like 10 to the power of 1500, it's so ridiculously large that you could measure it in anything from microseconds to star lifespans and you'd get roughly the same amount of time. So when they say "a time so absurd it has no name" they're not kidding around, measuring it is irrelevant

      Star lifespans can be as long as 10 trillion years for the hardiest red dwarfs, much longer than the current age of the universe. Of course that all becomes a non-factor once you get far enough. In fact, on timescales long enough to lead to iron stars, the subsequent destruction of the resulting black hole is instantaneous

      My main problem with this theory is this- how do you define a single universe in a collection that are physically separated by space like that. The definition of the universe is that it’s everything in this space-time dimension, so by your logic those aren’t “universes”. But are instead relative and subjective sub-pockets limited by their own cosmic horizon

    For anyone having an existential crisis over this, here's something to think about: Some astrophysicists have pointed out that the state of the universe after heat death (all matter and energy being equal, concepts of space and time being meaningless) is actually similar to what, for lack of a better word, "existed" before the Big Bang. In other words, our universe will die, but in the process it might just give birth to the next universe. I think there's a bit of comfort in that possibility.

    I remember when I was younger, like from 10-18 or 19 years old, I would get this indescribable feeling when thinking about how big and old the universe was and how tiny and insignificant people are in comparison. I would only feel it if I was somewhere where I could look up at the stars, but the closest I can come to explaining this feeling was a sense of a calm feeling of understanding something mixed with some bits of like loneliness and sadness. It stopped happening as I got older but I still remember having these moments of just trying to think about the whole size and scope of the universe and my brain just having a complete emotional overload at the attempt...

      Their stated position is positive nihilism which is essentially that it's great that everything exists, that anything exists, that we exist, and we should find our own meaning and enjoyment to make it worthwhile. If you feel dread at the realization of the transitory nature of all things before time and entropy then you're admitting reality is too much for your feeble mind and that you're too weak willed to face it - the universe has offered us a seemingly impossible challenge and while this is very likely the inevitable fate of the universe there is still much we do not know.

I've been here since day 1 and I'd like to appreciate Steve Taylor - the signature voice and vibe of this channel! Although I always see comments on the team's work which is in itself commendable, let's not forget the world in which Steve sends us through his voice with each remarkable video. Keep being awesome Kurzgesagt, and keep making amazing content that is true to its work and open for rectifications if necessary!! This is what science is about, we must keep wondering.

      I have a question for you. I am not a physicists and i could not do the math with a gun to my head, However my personal hobby has been black holes since i was a kid and they were still widely theoretical. I just had a thought recently about pancakeification. First a black holes gravity would cause spegghetification because of gravitational waves, but what if because of time dialation the particles can go no further than the event horizon, and instead create a plank shell of matter. this plank shell houses a sort of vacuum of dark energy and as the shell grows as more matter falls in and adds to the shell, the dark energy grows. Hawking radiation forms near the event horizon, negative mass particles fall in and create small gaps that last only fractions of a second, but are drawn out by time dilatation, adding non gravity effected dark energy to the universe? Just a thought i had, probably crazy and un-scientific. Wanted to run it past someone in the community.

    • @Hudpower

      are you in progress studying or do you have your degree? I remember doing this in my science degree and this seems like its missing some things, like the fact that we dont know the direction the expansion of the universe will inevitably take, IE big freeze, rip or crunch. we dont even know if crunch would by cyclic, the universe could just keep being reborn, if thats the way, then maybe we arent the first iteration of the universe.
      also hawking radiation emits photons, if this is right and the universe goes for big freeze then the photons also will be dispersed and eventually quantum fluctuations would result in collisions which would have mass and thus gravity and eventually with enough time would combine enough and collide together to create new stuff ext.
      either way there are so many assumptions in all of this I feel like we cant really say "this will be the last thing in the universe" though still interesting.
      feel free to correct me.

      Universe had a beginning it will have an End as well. And if We analyse History then its easy to realise that there isn't a SINGLE civilization in human History which hasn't been destroyed / punished / annihilated for their disobedience and sins. Be it - Babylonian, Mesopotamian, Indus Valley civilization, Persian, Roman, Assyrian, etc. etc.
      However, there are probably people who think that this Technologically Advanced Modern Civilization could be an exception. We all can just wait to see or Prepare!
      This is the Order of Events according to my limited knowledge & understanding (I can elaborate much more but I tried to be as concise as possible) :-
      Collapse of Petro-dollar, Paper monetary system [(actual cause of WW3), many geo-political conflicts and situations are side reasons /smoke and mirrors] ~ 80% - 90% expected to die ~ Many years of great oppression & injustice, more than even now (probably 7) ~ lsraeI ruling state of the World (obvious) ~ Emergence of Mahdi (r.a.) - A Guided & Just ruler ~ Peace & Prosperity for a while ~ Coming of Dajjal/Antíchrist (their much awaited one-eyed Messiah) in Human form (live for 37 days & will do many miracles & many things) ~ coming of Eesa/Jesus (p.b.u.h.) & killing Dajjal ~ Peace for many years (some say 8-9 years & some 40) ~ Coming of Yajuj and Majuj (a corrupt ancient tribe) in large numbers & much violence & killing ~ Their destruction from an infection / disease on their neck by Allah s.w.t. ~ Peaceful death of all the believers from a breeze from Yemen ~ Destruction of the Kaaba 🕋 (in Mecca, Saudi Arabia) brick to brick by Dhul suwaq qatain (a person with short legs) ~ Dwelling of only Disbelievers and Criminals on Earth ~ The Earth will be cursed coz there will be no one to say La ilaha il Allah (There's no God except Allah) ~ Trembling of Mountains & shaking of the Earth (physical destruction of the World and the Universe).
      We have been already warned about it!
      And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed.
      [Chapter 17 Isra (The Night Journey) : 58]
      'That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.'

    According to our best theories (which may well be wrong at this scale of time), this isn't even the "last thing" that may happen. Classically, if all you have is particles that have spread out and reached an equilibrium state, the universe should be dead forever. But quantum mechanics suggests that given enough time (long enough to make the time frames mentioned here seem like less than an eyeblink by comparison), through quantum tunneling, random things will happen even in a configuration that seemingly should be forever inactive. In fact, there's a line of thought that our Big Bang (and future ones) come about in exactly this way--there's a vanishingly small chance (so small that it's almost indistinguishable from zero, but crucially is not zero) that all the "stuff" will spontaneously go from that maximum entropy state (everything uniformly spread out in which events happening shouldn't be possible) to a near-zero entropy state, which is what the state that led to the Big Bang and cosmic inflation was.

      It makes the most sense. If the universe was maximum entropy for effectively an infinite amount of time but condensed enough for us to exist for only a finite amount of time, then the current state of the universe is infinitely small compared to the infinite heat death period. It feels unlikely that we exist in time to see the universe during its infinitely short period of time. But a cycle of death and rebirth makes more sense.

    It's actually quite fascinating to think about: We exist close enough to the literal start of _everything,_ that we can partially still observe the direct aftermath and all stages between _then_ and _now._
    Our understanding of physics and the universe is so big, we have a guess at what will happen in a future so distant, that we can't even abstractly understand just how utterly insanely far away it actually is beyond "it's a _really_ long time until then".
    The entire human existence is like a grain of sand in a desert compared to the current age of the universe. The universe's current age is a grain of sand in the desert to the time, it'll take for all matter to turn into black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs. The time until that happens is like a grain of sand in the desert to the time it'll take for black holes to evaporate and white dwarfs to become black dwarfs... and all that time is still just a grain of sand in a vast desert to what might happen thereafter (if our understanding of all this is correct).
    There is a time in a (not nearly as distant but still) far out future, long after Andromeda and the Milky Way have merged, when sentient life will look at the skies and see nothing that's not directly in their own neighborhood.
    All lights in the sky will be contained within their own galaxy. The background radiation, that allows us to analyse the big bang, will have become indistinguishable from background noise. All other galaxies will have moved beyond the range in which their light is able to outrun the universe's expansion.
    Those lifeforms will not be able to understand how the universe was formed, they won't know that there's other galaxies out there (and even if they did, it'd be functionally meaningless to them) and they would see barely any new stars forming, maybe not even see old ones dying, given that most stars will be long-lived ones, that'll still take an absurd amount of time to run out their fuel.
    It's mind blowing to think that we live in a time, where we can look at *_both the possible start and end of the universe_* and that there's a time in between when sentient life will have absolutely _no means_ to do the same. To them, the universe will be entirely static and appear to be eternal and unchanging both in the past and future.

    1. *Introduction (**0:00** - **0:23**):*
    The video begins by noting the current happy and healthy state of the universe but poses a question about what the last event in the universe will be.
    2. *Early Universe to Today (**0:31** - **1:47**):*
    A brief overview of the universe's early stages, from a warm, dark baby to the formation of stars and galaxies. The video emphasizes that over 90% of stars that will ever exist have already been born.
    3. *The End of Everything - but not quite (**1:53** - **3:29**):*
    The video discusses the future, where stars like our sun will die, and the cosmic gas will run out. It introduces the idea that in a few trillion years, white dwarfs will dominate the universe.
    4. *Black Dwarfs and the End of Stars (**3:34** - **4:16**):*
    Explains that, after trillions of years, all galaxies will evaporate, and every object will be on its own. Black holes will slowly fizzle away, marking the end of supermassive black holes.
    5. *The Weird Physics of Black Dwarfs (**4:29** - **6:05**):*
    Details the strange physics inside black dwarfs, where matter is compressed and electrons keep the star from collapsing. Describes the process of quantum tunneling, making black dwarfs the last interesting things in the universe.
    6. *Fusion in Black Dwarfs (**6:22** - **8:15**):*
    Explains the unique fusion reactions occurring in black dwarfs, involving slow processes over trillions of years. The video highlights the eventual decay of Nickel-56, leading to the destruction of electrons, impacting the stability of the black dwarf.
    7. *The Last Event - Supernova (**8:21** - **8:56**):*
    Describes the catastrophic event when a black dwarf loses too many electrons, leading to an uncontrolled collapse - a supernova. This is presented as the last spectacular event in the universe, filling it with light before quickly fading into darkness.
    8. *Conclusion (**9:03** - **9:16**):*
    The video concludes by reassuring viewers that the last event is so far in the future that it hardly affects us today, emphasizing the current favorable conditions of the universe.

    Watching these videos give me a mix of existential dread about the end, and a FOMO because I won't live long enough to see how it plays out.
    Idk why this combo is such a vibe.

    Could a black dwarf supernova be so powerful that IT is the Big Bang? And the universe has just been resetting over and over again?

    Thanks a lot, @Kurzgesagt. This was indeed unexpected. Amazing animation as well.
    Concerning the topic, from the video I did not get clearly what is left after the explosion. Perhaps it is a cold metal sphere.
    Also I thought about the fate of the other objects, which was not mentioned here. Neutron stars. Turns out that for some neutron stars their rapid rotation is the last thing that prevents them from collapsing to the black hole. The rotation decelerates slowly so at some point they may collapse into the black hole (and eventually evaporate). I assume this is also a terribly slow process that may potentially compete with the fusion in black dwarfs.

    I love how this episode combines theories explained before and adding more dimension to them. These videos have made me think about these things more thoughtfully and it's nice to see how they hold up against our current understanding of it all. I love you guys, you are absolutely amazing!
