HTTP:: Black Hole Behemoths May Be Destroying the Universe
--------
The concept of entropy refers to a quantity used to measure chaos. Entropy has been on the rise in the Universe ever since the Big Bang, and a new scientific study, taking into account the latest astronomical data, has evidenced that massive black holes at the center of galaxies are the largest contributors to this increase. This may not seem like much, but astrophysicists say that the higher the entropy, the faster the Cosmos' end will come. The correlation, in their mind, is simple and direct. Details of the idea have been submitted for publication in an upcoming issue of The Astrophysical Journal, NewScientist reports. In charge of the new investigation were experts Chas Egan and Charles Lineweaver, from the Australian National University, in Canberra. They used the most recent data to calculate the entropy of everything in the Universe, from clouds of cosmic dust and gas to gravitons â€" the hypothetical elementary particles that create the force of gravity within the!
framework of the quantum-field theory. Out of all the structures they analyzed, regardless of their sizes, behemoth black holes were found to be the largest contributors to entropy increase of all known space objects. Entropy is also sometimes used to express the number of possible arrangements of matter and energy that may ...
