Astronomy makes many predictions about the evolution of the future cosmos. This includes answers to questions like:
- How will the Earth change and when will the Earth come to an end?
- When will life on Earth end?
- How will the Sun change and when will the Sun burn out.
- When and how will the Galaxy end?
- What will happen to the stars in the sky?
- What is the future of the universe: A big bounce, a big freeze, or a big rip?
- Will time itself come to an end?
Prof. Mathews will describe a journey backward and forward through cosmic time as a means to explore these questions and provide some surprising answers.
