until it starts to contract and then it gets fun
Hey raider, did you read about the new theory that was proposed about, oh, a month or so ago? Some scientists have presented a model where the universe oscillates... it expands in a "big bang", and then goes on expanding some more and then it begins to contract and will finally collapse into a dense mass (probably something like a HUGE black hole) and then it will have a big bang again and collapse again. They think it might be an infinite cycle of expansion and collapses.

So if and when it starts to contract, we'll all just cease to exist. Not a very nice thought going into a Memorial day weekend, is it?
