Don't believe this PR plug. The Universe is
collapsing. The end of the world is next week!

Seriously, though. this is really just a guess because
we can't really measure the mass of the Universe
accurately enough to say for sure. Some say it won't,
others firmly believe it will. I'm hoping for it will,
simply because I think we're missing something
important. However, the facts as we know them do seem
to support a slow cold death. Which is illogical,
because if that is true, then what was before the Big
Bang. I like theories to have a logical basis. An ever
expanding Universe, until death, isn't logical ergo,
it must be wrong somehow. Unless, the Universe has
expanded and collapsed before, but each time with an
Energy loss and we are now looking at the "Last
Expansion". There, that's logical and obeys the Law of
Conservation of Energy. See, back on Topic. Although
how any of this is Linux related, beats me. Maybe
someone could model this in a Linux Super Cluster?
