End of Time is Nigh - Relatively


Scientists from UC Berkeley calculated that te end of the universe as we know it will come (with 50%  probability) in 3.7 billion years (within Earth's lifespan). Their argument is very simple: If the unverse is infinite, every possible event will happen (in fact for an infinite number of times), no matter how unlikely, which makes it imposible to talk about probabilities, which at the end conflicts with the laws of physics. I don't know how did they calculate the 3.7 billion years, but it is sure enaough for me to take over the entire galaxy. <Title is a link to the source>
