God: HEY T-REX YOU KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER WAY THE UNIVERSE COULD END T-Rex: You wake up and it was all a crazy dream?? You know what ALL OF CREATION would say if that happened?
T-Rex: "Weaaaaaaaaak"
God: NO I AM TALKING ABOUT THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE SPEEDING UP UNTIL ALL STRUCTURES BEGIN TO TEAR THEMSELVES APART T-Rex: What? God: YEAH IF DARK ENERGY HAS ENOUGH REPULSIVE POWER TO CONTINUOUSLY INCREASE THE EXPANSION RATE OF THE UNIVERSE EVENTUALLY GALAXIES WILL BE TORN APART THEN PLANETS AND THEN ATOMS THEMSELVES God: SHOULD BE God: UH God: PRETTY NEAT
T-Rex: God, WHO I USED TO THINK WAS KINDA COOL, is talking about everything being eventually torn apart by accelerating Universal expansion! Utahraptor: Ah, the "big rip" theory. Yeah, it's a newer one but pretty interesting to consider. We've still got over 20 BILLION years before it'll happen though!
Narrator: 21 BILLION YEARS LATER: God: I HAVE SOME GREAT NEWS T-REX I WAS WRONG AND THE BIG RIP DIDN'T HAPPEN God: OH WAIT THIS IS JUST A PICTURE OF T-REX AND THE EARTH IS LONG SINCE DUST God: DAAAAAAANG
What are the haps my friends
July 20th, 2007:I am a big fan of Nedroid, where you can read all sorts of great comics. I was going to link to a few here, but THEY ARE ALL GOOD, which is amazing. I've linked to Nedroid before but this time is for his 200 Bad Comics, in which he's drawn, as you might expect, 200 bad comics. But what is this? They are not actually bad! You will laugh!
I forgot to mention with yesterday's update that if you're interested in the heat death of the universe, or just want to read a really excellent story that will stay with you for at least a few days, you can do no better than Isaac Asimov's The Last Question. Asimov himself thought it was one of the best stories he ever wrote, and I think I agree. It's a wonderful story and it's only a few pages long, so you could read it at lunch break and still have time for, you know, eatin' lunch!
