Universe's End: New Study Drastically Shortens Estimated Time

**Scientists Shorten Estimated Time Until Universe's End** A recent study has dramatically altered our understanding of the universe's lifespan. Researchers have recalculated the estimated time until the universe's complete disintegration, significantly reducing the previously held belief of 10 to the power of 1000 years. The new estimate is 10 to the power of 78 years. This recalculation is based on theories of accelerated cosmic expansion and the process of Hawking radiation, which predicts a 'heat death' where all matter disintegrates into subatomic particles. "This adjustment is based on theories about the accelerated expansion of the cosmos and processes like Hawking radiation," explains the video. The researchers introduced the term 'transmilton' to help grasp this immense timescale. Although the end remains unimaginably far off, this new calculation represents a significant change in our predictions about the universe's ultimate fate. This discovery highlights the ongoing efforts of scientists to understand the universe's profound mysteries and its inevitable end.
