In Response To: T-Minus 15.193792102158E+9 years... (redmage13)

: I've worked up an interesting theory that I haven;t been able to find
: anywhere else, forgive me if it's old.

: T-Minus 15.193792102158E+9 years until the universe closes!
: [Neither High nor Low (Terminal 1)]

: Durandal, in this terminal seens as if he has worked out the end of the
: universe to the letter. His calculations appear to be using algebra (i.e.
: the "E"), thus Bungie got away without giving away the end of
: the universe (we all know that they know of couse...). However, what is
: "E". If we look to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc²,E
: represents energy, m is mass, and c² the square of the speed of light. On
: a limb, lets say that the "E" in Durandals little equation is
: "energy".

: Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the
: universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the
: universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity
: has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only
: lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have
: already done so.
: [Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap (Terminal 3)]

: I too foresee the imminent collapse, and know that we have
: both begun to realize how it may be cheated (though the price
: may number in the tens of thousands of stars). May the best
: sentience win.
: [Welcome to the Revolution... (Terminal 2)[Tycho]]

: We know that the universe can't be infinately stable, as Durandal knows when
: it will collapse. In Tycho's message, he says that if the end is to be
: cheated, it would cost tens of thousands of stars. Prhaps then, the
: universe can only withstand a certain amount of energy. What things in the
: universe have and give off enormous amounts of energy? Stars. It's been
: theorized that back holes send matter into other,parallel, universes.
: Durandal has always been particularly haphazard with life, so he may have
: given thought to making several stars in strategic locations go nova. This
: would heat other stars into red giants, which would then become white
: dwarves, and soon, black holes. These black holes would suck surrounding
: stars in, this reducing the amount of energy in our universe,saving ours
: and dooming others. I'm sure thatsomewhere in my rampant ravings I've
: spooned something up, so if anyone wishes to comment, or correct me, feel
: free to do so.

Yah but there are close to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000(a septillion)stars in the observable universe. And what about the Law of Conservation of Energy?
