Trying to know when the end of the world will come is one of the tasks that human beings strive for. Anticipating what might happen in order to be able to react is what all researchers who dedicate their work to knowing to a greater extent what phenomenon will cause the end of the world as we know it.
Recently, a study carried out by a series of Dutch scientists has brought forward the possible end of the universe sooner than expected. Published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, this research argues that the end of the universe may not come within the previous date, which was 10 to the power of 1100.
With these advances in technology, and the results of the aforementioned studies, researchers have dated the end of the world within 10 to the power of 78 years, that is, a much smaller figure than expected, but not remote with respect to our generations.
Why will the end of the world come sooner?
Three experts have spoken about this significant advance in the end of the cosmos: Heino Falcke, an expert in black holes, physicist Michael Wondrak and mathematician Walter van Suijlekom, from Radboud University Nijmegen.
All of this would come from Hawking radiation and the extinction of white dwarfs. This trio of researchers studied the time it takes for white dwarfs to disintegrate. At the same time, this was related to the phenomenon of black hole evaporation, or Hawking radiation, which is the process by which black holes cause radiation that gradually causes them to dissolve.
Through this evaporation of black holes, the researchers were able to that this phenomenon is related to the density of the body, so they dated in these years (10 to the power of 78) the approximate time of the dissolution of these white dwarfs.
