• The philosophical and scientific reasons the Universe began to exist
• what is infinite?
• the Universe could not have actually existed for an eternity or we never could have reached the point where we came into existence
• If it was infinite we would still be an infinite number of years away from our own existence!
• How wrong is Buzz Lightyear?
• The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics tells us, in simple terms, that in a closed system everything runs down.
• A closed system is a set of objects that neither have things put into it or taken out of it.
• Scientists have measured and noted that in 10^30 years – that’s trillions and trillions of years from now – the universe will be 90% dead stars. Our sun won’t exist. 9% of the universe will be gigantic black holes preparing to eat the rest of the universe and 1% will be simple matter like hydrogen.
• In 10^100 years black holes will even dissipate
• If the universe has always existed than technically, it should have cooled off a LONG long time ago because trillions and trillions of years would’ve gone by trillions and trillions of years ago!!!
