The universe will gradually disappear?

The famous Australian astronomer Brian Schmidt, who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2011, predicts that the current universe will gradually disappear within 100 billion years.

The universe faces a gloomy future

'People will face an empty universe for another 100 billion years, when all galaxies disappear, except for our Milky Way , ' according to The Australian.

Dr. Schmidt won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics with Saul Perlmutter and Adam Riess for his work that provides evidence that the rate of expansion of the universe is increasing.

Before they published the report, the scientists thought that the expansion of the universe had slowed.

Thanks to the measurement of the supernova's brightness and color shift, Schmidt and his colleagues discovered that the stars explode and their galaxies are moving farther away from their original structure.

The finding led to the study of dark energy, a form of energy that is thought to spread throughout the universe and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe.

'Unless dark energy suddenly disappears, the universe will continue to expand with increasing speed and the surrounding material will gradually disappear' , according to expert Schmidt.

In 100 billion years, if people still exist, they will find themselves increasingly lonely in the deserted universe.

Meanwhile, the Milky Way still exists and merges with some nearby galaxies.
