> > IF CONFIRMED is my editorializing on the article. The Big Crunch has been out of favor for years. The best recent guess has been space is flat and Heat Death is the proper end to expect, 100 billion years from now.These are scientific 'consensus'thoughts, now that the current age of peer review allows consensus control in science, like the Global Warming consensus. Never mind acceptable proof.

> I find it unlikely that its consensus just yet; I only say this because it was only this time last year where I remember SciAm reporting on the "infinite, empty, and cold" death of the universe. I'll stay on my fence, as I am wont to do, heh-The SciAM infinite, empty, and cold death is the same as the phrase 'heat death', used in past discussions elsewhere. Heat is dead, or gone. Kind of a silly twist on words and meanings.
