Scientists predict time will stop completely
The theory of time running out was devised by researchers from two Spanish universities trying to explain why the universe appeared to be spreading continuously and accelerating.
Observations of supernovae, or exploding stars, found the movement of light indicated they were moving faster than those nearer to the centre of the universe.
But the scientists claimed the accepted theory of an opposite force to gravity, known as dark energy, was wrong, and said the reality was that the growth of the universe was slowing.
Professor Jose Senovilla, Marc Mars and Raul Vera from the University of the Basque Country and the University of Salamanca said the deceleration of time was so gradual, it was imperceptible to humans.
Their proposal, published in the journal Physical Review D, claimed dark energy does not exist and that time was winding down to the point when it would finally grind to a halt long after the planet ceased to exist.

Re: Scientists predict time will stop completely
For a decade, scientists have puzzled over a surprising phenomenon: Supernovae stars viewed at extreme distances seem to be moving away from us faster than those nearby.

Most researchers have assumed that the stars have somehow accelerated – or that, more precisely, the rate of the expansion of the post-Big Bang universe itself has accelerated over time.

This was particularly odd given that the universe was thought to be dominated by matter, which should, through the aggregate gravitational effect of each bit pulling on the others, have led to a deaccelerating expansion, rather than the opposite. Thus, scientists have postulated an unknown kind of energy, now known as "dark energy," which would be responsible for the acceleration.

Re: Scientists predict time will stop completely
For those of us already struggling to cross that last item off our "to do" list each day, there's bad news: Time is slowing down and will eventually run out. That's according to a team of Spanish scientists who claim that the growth of the universe is decelerating, slowing time and making everything appear to take place faster. Researchers theorize that eventually time will grind to a complete halt and cease to exist, but it's happening so slowly that it's imperceptible to humans. This might give nightmares to the Sheldon Coopers among us, but we prefer to think of it as the perfect, scientifically backed excuse for just not having enough time to get everything done.

Time can't stop. Only the creator lives in a timeless realm, we live by time, so we die. Only way time would stop completely is if in the New Kingdom, our creator allows the righteous to live forever, immortality.

Time is speeding up, at least my perception of it is. What used to feel like 24 hours has been cut to about 16 or a little less.

Time doesn't exist outside of our reality (third dimension). At some time in the future, we will reach Zero Point where all time lines converge and all that exists is the now.

This is bs because it the half step rule. You can never make it to your destination if you only go half way each step. Same with time it will never stop if its always slowing down.

Re: Scientists predict time will stop completely
There are so many different theories out there, I remember in college talking about this EXACT scenario. Only we understood that the expansion of the universe has always been thought of as a rubber-band. Just as the star's, when that rubber band is stretched to its maximum, time will snap back violently and begin to stretch all over again.

I've always thought of the rubber band "snap" as the "Big Bang" which immediately precedes time/life. So this just goes to show, its not as crazy a theory as some might expect. There are many professors who teach similar theories, interesting find op and thanks for the post.

Re: Scientists predict time will stop completely
how will this manifest itself? i can never understand this. they say time is already slowing. but days are still 24 hours long. a second is still a second.

how would be notice this?
i mean it makes sense somewhat sinds that might be what they mean by achieving eternal life...

also theres a card of the NWO game about "time runs out"

To understand this, you have to understand what "time" really is. Are we talking about our perception of time? Which is just based on when our 1 measly planet rotates and orbits around the sun. Which we invented solely on the rising/setting of a single tiny star in this giant cosmos.

Universal time, is a completely different ballpark all together.

Even river's need rough currents to keep them moving... As with time, it is all cyclical.





++Bottom Line++


The concept of time, can go on forever, if you wish it to. Although the universe may expand and contract (basically a giant reset into the big bang all over again) the concept of "time" is still present, although the beings that practice it may no longer be present...until the bang finishes and it starts all over again.

I thought the 'big bang' THEORY was currently being debunked by scientists? After all, it was a loose and silly THEORY to begin with, with no discernible proof TO THIS DAY that the 'big bang' ever existed in the first place!

Apart from that, it is an interesting theory that time is slowing down.
