The Future of the Universe
What will happen to our Earth, the Sun, and the Universe? While the future of Earth over the next few centuries cannot be predicted with certainty, the fate of the cosmos over billions of years can. That’s because astronomy is capable of reliably calculating the long-term evolution of the universe. Our cosmos is constantly changing. It came into existence around 14 billion years ago—an unimaginably short span compared to the future still ahead. Researchers around the globe are studying how Earth, the Sun, and the universe as a whole will continue to evolve. Time spans of millions of years—during which life and Earth itself will transform—are still somewhat graspable. But what about billions of years, when the Sun will reach the end of its life and the entire Milky Way will undergo a dramatic transformation?
And what lies in a future so distant that our language has no words for it? What remains when all stars have gone dark?
This show dares to take you on a breathtaking journey into the unimaginable—through stunning visuals and exciting insights from current research. Join us on an astronomical voyage through time into the farthest future!
