so, if energy can only be transferred. and it can't be created or destroyed, only transferred. then where does all the energy of all of the stars go?

Is there a Astrophysicist in the house?. Honestly, I'm not sure what you are asking.

so, if energy can only be transferred. and it can't be created or destroyed, only transferred. then where does all the energy of all of the stars go?

If you consider the universe as the container the energy is still there. The cosmic background radiation measurements show the heat leftover from the 'big bang'. It's detectable everywhere we look. The energy from the stars will bee spread over the entire universe.

Imagine a bucket of water and one drop of boiling water is added. You know the total energy in the bucket of water increased. But was spread out to be practically undetectable.

What he said.

so, if energy can only be transferred. and it can't be created or destroyed, only transferred. then where does all the energy of all of the stars go?

It's like when WTC tries to show his superior intellect in a thread. It just sucks all the energy out of the thread, but the thread still continues because the momentum just keeps it alive.

Damn, someone has a fixation on me. Not healthy in the least. And pretty creepy.

i'm really not sure how these astro physicists wrap their heads around this whole topic. it's mind blowing to think that everything started from a pin prick that exploded. containing all of the energy to create the suns, black holes, dark matter, whatever. which has expanded out into eternity and then it will all slowly burn out and spread so thin as to be nothing.

i'll probably be dead by then, but i wonder what happens after that?

It all started compressed, like gasoline in a cylinder is compressed right before ignition.

i wonder how many psi that would take?

nth to the power 0f 40 trillion.

Sooner or later the Discovery Channel will run out of shows.
Or he'll forget to pay his cable bill.

Agreed. The history is kind of like this. Hubble in 1923 announces their are multiple galaxies outside the Milky Way. Through the decades of advances in physics, optical telescopes, increased computer power, tons of other peripherals, they notice the Blue/Red Doppler Effect. Just about every galaxy is racing away from the other. The further out they look, the faster they are moving. Had maybe a 3 decade debate that maybe dark matter (90% of the Universe), would somehow in the far future counteract the expansion, slow it down, stop it, and initiate a "Big Crunch" going back to the pinpoint and maybe another Big Bang. Looks like they have thrown that out and the expansion goes on forever.

That would kill the parrot.

Rumor has it that his cable bill is $40,000 per month.

So, something that is hard to get your head around. The Big Bang (and the creation of the Universe) happened 14-15 Billion years ago. The Hubble Telescope is 30 year old technology. When Hubble takes a photo of a Galaxy say 5 Billion lights years away, you think you looking out at that distance (like what it looks like today) but it is what was emitted 5 Billion years ago at the exact instance (time). Hubble, with it's ancient technology has photographed Galaxies less than 1 Billion after the Big Bang. So, with the Jim Webb Telescope (50 times more powerful, better tech) fixing to launch in a couple of years, Isn't it just a matter of looking further back(out) and there is the Big Bang in all it's glory?

I watched a show on hubble when it was launched, etc. the first good picture they got with the repaired lens and all was a Nova or a star exploding or something. it was a huge stroke of luck. But then they estimated how long ago it had been when the event actually occurred, as opposed to when the picture was taken. the amount of time was sometime around the birth of the planet earth. So, the star explodes about the time earth is created. Then oxygen forms, then amoeba emerge, then blah blah blah, dinosaurs, man evolves, noah, blah blah blah, then some guy invents a telescope, moon landing, hubble and launch it and "BAM" we take the picture.

Another interesting thing about telescopes and space is that everything is expanding. and the further two things are from each other, the further they keep getting and they faster they are moving away from each other. to the point that, although you can't reach the speed of light, if two things are moving away from each other, they only have to reach half the speed of light for the relative speed between them to reach the speed of light. so, there are some things out there that can never be seen because the light can never reach us.

It's like Walmart. If they are constantly lowering prices, why is nothing free? Hopefully quantum mechanics can figure it out.

Almost unbelievable that 100 years ago, nobody had a clue there were Galaxies outside the Milky Way. Today, trying to decipher the physics behind the Big Bang. Not "God" but maybe 2 warriors battling with swords and the spark caused it. Both said "oops". Trillion year history started. Nah, that reeks of megman.
