Combined, the musicbanter intellectual mindscape contains a lot of knowledge and expertise. Some of us are rich with life experiences and interests while others have more specialized knowledge in areas such as philosophy, art, design, law and of course biology.

This is a thread simply for asking questions. This could be anything - a question about greek mythology, the evolution of languages, what is the golden ratio, how does a car engine work or maybe you need some help with your math homework.


Astronomy : I have a question for someone who might know some astronomy. Does anyone know theoretically what should happen to the universe billions of years down the line? I think I read once that black holes will swallow all matter and then the black holes will melt together to form one super-black hole .. but that even this one will "evaporate", eventually leaving a universe with nothing but a kind of "background radiation" somewhere down the line.

Is this really a likely course of events or does popular scientific theory predict a different scenario?
