There's certain type of people who attach their life to infinitely distant events. For them somehow is very important, will the Universe die through thermal death, will the Milky Way collapse into one big black hole, when will the Sun consume Earth etc. Like if the Universe dies, then everything they did in their life has no meaning.

According to this table we have about 22 billion years until the big rip.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future#Earth,_the_Solar_System,_and_the_universe

If that doesn't happen though then we might exist quite a while longer but would likely have to move around to different planets. After 100 billion years all the galaxies around us will have floated away beyond where we can see. Then after 100 trillion years stars will stop forming. Then at 1 quadrillion years stars won't have planets any more because they'll all be flung off into space. Maybe we could survive past that if we start living in spaceships or something

According to the latest Kurszgesagt video, all the cosmological theories on the structure and evolution of the universe are falling apart.
For example there is no telling that the universe will continue an accelerating expansion, given that there is no evidence that dark energy is a static constant.

So for all we know, the universe, or at least our observable corner of it may eventually start collapsing in on itself back into a singularity.

Our universe (the "Big Bang universe") is just a tiny spec of dust in an infinite universe (some call it multiverse but I dislike the term).

Basically when entropy gets too high in an area, AKA "the heat death" of the universe, a Big Bang spontaneously happens and seeds stars.

Our challenge to survive, would be to manage to switch universes before that happens.

The oldest human who is known in the modern age was an accountant from 5000 years ago. He was basically a nobody. A cog in the Sumerian trading system. That he is remembered while the great leaders, warriors, and artists of the time are forgotten shows just how capricious "fame" can be.
The next oldest are the slave owner, Gal-Sal, and his two slaves, a man named En-pap X and a woman named Sukkalgir.

It's not really new. It's been known for well over a decade that star-formation peaked at about half the current age of the universe. Back then galaxies were forming stars about 10 times faster than now.
There was also much more growth of supermassive black holes, shining as quasars and other AGN. In the local universe today quasars are pretty rare.
There is a question of what will happen in the future, which is much more uncertain. But some simulations that were run predict the fall in star-formation will continue.

Because they are literally simulations of galaxies run into the future. As I said, it's very uncertain, but these are the best prediction to date, based on known physics.

it doesn't matter if we don't have a better model because it doesn't automatically make this one correct or even viable.
>>
>>16867553
>it doesn't automatically make this one correct
Well then it's a good thing I never claimed these were correct. Quite the opposite, I said they were very uncertain. Being able to make a prediction doesn't require it to be correct.
But they are the best we have. That is not a circular argument. You have trying to confuse making a prediction with making some statement of absolute truth.

Also don't invent quotes.

Heat death is no longer a certainty.
Some time ago the Webb Telescope or some other bullshit found out that the universe is not accelerating as much as predicted by current models.
Chances are that we will maybe get a big crunch if the acceleration eventually stops and the whole shitshow will collapse onto itself by gravity.
Then maybe we get another Big Bang and a New Game Plus.

Lel nope. None of the confirmed high redshift galaxies are in tension with cosmology. The bright ones are more abundant that most models of galaxy formation suggest, but not to the extent that they violate cosmological limits. The "universe breaking" galaxies found in one very quick paper were quietly debunked. They were not old massive galaxies, they are in fact pretty normal galaxies with accreting black holes.
Don't get your science news from blogspam sites.

Never mind, I'll have to do it for you, dumbass:

>If most LRDs are AGN, that can explain much of their “universe-breaking” reputation. AGN far outshine normal galaxies, so it could mean they are more moderately sized after all. But even so, the large numbers of them are surprising. There are far more of them — 10 to 100 times more — than other surveys have indicated, whether they are quasars, AGN, or some other form of active black hole.

>What’s more, these galaxies only appear in the early universe. They disappear from surveys around a redshift of 4, meaning when the universe was less than 2 billion years old. It’s very likely that they evolve into more typical galaxies — but even that tells us that something strange is happening in those early days to produce these phenomena. The LRD mystery goes hand-in-hand with other findings by JWST that the young universe didn’t unfold the way we thought.

Fully falls under my assessment of how an "early universe radically deviates from predictions"

>Fully falls under my assessment of how an "early universe radically deviates from predictions"
Two points. Firstly weird black holes are not part of the cosmological model. Physical cosmology is the large scale evolution of the universe, it does not describe everything to the detail of individual galaxies. So this is not a crisis for cosmology.
Secondly, LRDs are mysterious because it isn't known what they are. But several proposed explanations were already predicted by theorists. (e.g. faint AGN, quasistars). They isn't a crisis at all.
Also LRDs are a tiny fraction of galaxies, and they don't seem to exist in the earliest galaxies.
