Wonders of the Universe: Destiny

“The fate of the sun is the same as for all stars. One day they must all eventually die, and the cosmos will be plunged into an eternal night. And this is the most profound consequence of the arrow of time, because this structured universe that we inhabit, in all its wonders - the stars, the planets, the galaxies -  cannot last forever. The cosmos will eventually fade and die.”

One of the coolest things I have ever watched on youtube.

Gahh, I love it. I love the universe. I love him.

Falling Gelatin in 6200 frames per second.

There’s so much of the world my eyes just wont let me see.

Reminded me of Brian Cox’s beautiful exploration of time and his slow motion demonstration (here).
