@hkim Please post this in Physics. http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/Physics

There's an eventual heat-death, where entropy is at a maximum, until a Poincaré point, where the system will come back to some low-entropy state.

some physicists believe that it will be the end.

nincompoop · Answer

I don't know this for certain nor any physicist.  It seems that there are still a lot of stuff to figure out about everything.

welcome back btw @hkim

anonymous · Answer

From what we know, this will be the case. But, again, this may be entirely overturned. Although, as of right now, the heat-death is the most likely theory as per our state of knowledge.
