In a startling new theory, scientists have predicted that the passage of time will stop altogether. The theory is based on research conducted at two Spanish Universities aimed at explaining why the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating, a conundrum that has puzzled scientists for years. What they came up with was the notion that the expansion of the universe isn't accelerating at all; instead time itself is slowing down at an imperceptible rate and that eventually it will stop entirely, resulting in a perpetual static snapshot for the rest of eternity. "We believe that time emerged during the Big Bang and if time can emerge, may disappear as well as the opposite effect," said cosmologist Gary Gibbons. linky From U-M!

Wonder what happens to people then. When time stops, nothing can continue to be percieved. What are those final moments like?

Yes, their entire theory is that time "just stops". They wrote a paper about it and is simply says "Time will stop, the end."

This is not a new prediction, infact it's been predicted since we discovered the Laws of thermodynamics. There was a massive section devoted to this in a BBC documentary called 'Wonders of the Universe' aswell afew years ago.

Similiarly time did also not exist before the big bang as time is not what we humans use to record it in the form of the 24 hour clock called time it is the state of the entropy going from high (Disordered) to low (Ordered) along a straght line. At the point everything becomes as uncomplicated as it is possible to be time does not exist. I learnt this in A-level (High school for the Americans here) physics.

And they wrote this paper based on information from a very old book which holds no scientific fact.

It's called a theory for a reason...

At least they base their theory on observations, proven mathematics, and scientific laws with significant supporting evidence. Not texts written by man with no physical evidence and where even questioning the faith is enough to condemn a person.

If this were possible, and anyone was hypothetically alive to witness it, then how would they know? By saying that something has stopped, then that in itself is acknowledging time. It would seem to me as long as anyone was alive and able to think, then there is time. Just because physical objects stop moving does not mean time as stopped. Perhaps in an oblivion where nothing exists, then there would be no time.

"scientists" yay collectivism, this must be given credence because "scientists" i seriously doubt the scientific method was used to conclude this, as we see too often when shocking news comes from "scientists" just read the article and no, this "science" did not employ even inklings of the scientific method.

I didn't see a link to the original article.

I did see some terrible Science Journalism in that piece though.

First of all this is a hypothessis, not a theory.

They are hypothesizing an explination for "dark energy". They'll need empirical data to support that hypothesis.

I'm nto even sure what they mean with time "slowing down imperceptably". Time is relative, there is no absoulute time.

Just like Lemaitre and the Big Bang. Actually now that I think of it many of the most influential and well-known scientists have been religious believers, like Newton, Mendel, Al-Khwarizmi, Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus) etc.

And let's not forget the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

whipassmt

Yeah, whipassmt is right this time, at least when it comes to the Catholic Church. They are far less anti-science now, they embrace evolution and they even have their own observatory. Now they are just rabidly anti-socialism/communism, anti-gay, anti-heterosexual clerics, and very much pro-pedobear clerics.

"If religious beliefs and opinions are found contrary to the standards of science, they are mere superstitions and imaginations; for the antithesis of knowledge is ignorance, and the child of ignorance is superstition. Unquestionably there must be agreement between true religion and science. If a question be found contrary to reason, faith and belief in it are impossible, and there is no outcome but wavering and vacillation." Abdu'l-Bahá

It's closer to The Lord of the Rings, except with more sex, less values/life lessons, far less interesting characters, and aesthetically deficient writing.

Not arguing religion, but did you just say that the Bible has less values/life lessons? That's all the dang thing is.

You're right. The big man in the sky made the world, then got a bit tired and had to have a kip after 7 days. Then everything unravelled when some naked bloke and his missus got talked into eating an apple by a snake. That sounds way better as to why we're here :P
