Ok, this is the derailment from this topic. I've split the posts and included the starting quote so discussion can continue here.
Actually the universe is speeding up if you mean expansion-wise. Entropy is meant to be increasing though and when entropy means there are no viable reactions left human existence ceases to exist, not have reason, since human existence is reliant on chemical reactions anyway. Additionally the sun will probably become a red giant given its size but I'm sure that was only a typo, been watching Red Dwarf? If so good taste. If humanity still exists in about five billion years I'd hope we're advanced enough to scoot on out of the solar system too, or maybe we would have blasted ourselves back into the stone age a few hundred thousand times by that point.

thetank said:^ I can top that.
"The Universe is slowing down, when all its mechanical and chemical functions cease, rendering all human existence pointless.
"Just to put the gig in some sort of perspective."
And the Sun won't necessarily nova, it's likely to only become a Red Dwarf, and swallow Mercury, when sunlight fills half the noon-day sky.
The radiation is going to f*** us up, but we'll only die of horrible sunburn, because the aloe vera plants we need to heal us would all thrive in the constant sunlight, and eventually compete each other into extinction from a lack of space.
