#t bleak The universe is dying he Universe has plonked basically itself down on the sofa, pulled up a blanket and is about to nod off for an eternal doze, the Research Professor Simon Driver said. But, before you quit your job to prepare for a doomsday party, you should note it won happen for at least another 100 billion years. An international team of astronomers from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey analysed starlight from more than 200,000 galaxies to find the universe is emitting far less energy than it once was. Professor Driver from the International Centre for Radio astronomy Research, said scientists came to this conclusion after conducting the largest multi-wavelength survey ever put together. e used as many space and ground-based telescopes we could get our hands on to measure the energy output of over 200,000 galaxies across as broad a wavelength range as possible, he said. In total the team measured outputs across 21 different wavelengths from ultraviolet (characterises younger stars) to the far infrared (characterises younger stars. Prof Driver said the data showed the amount of energy being generated was two times less than the amount of energy that was being generated two billion years ago. hat tells us that the universe is essentially dying, he said. t going through a more inert phase and moving towards its grand era of retirement after having produced massive bursts of energy early on in the formation of the universe. t now fading and dwindling and diminishing. t will just become a very dark, very cold place where all matter will be a very long way from other matter. It rather bleak I afraid. Prof Driver added it has been common knowledge the universe has been fading since the late 1990s, but this work shows that it happening across all wavelengths p
