Physicists predict “imminent collapse” of universe. That’s the bad news. The good news is, “imminent” for physicists means “a few tens of billions of years” from now—so far in the future IHTM can’t even predict which Clinton will be running against which Bush.

It's OK, when the sun turns into a red giant and the sun expands in about 5-6 billion years we'll all be toast anyway (literally) .
... AND? ...
So the universe collapses... and?
They are saying this like this is something that we need to worry about and something that we can do something about. Neither is the case.
But there IS something we can do!!
We can take all our tax money and develop a structure system to physically support the universe, and prevent it from collapsing!
We can start with reversing Globull Warming, which would condense the atmosphere, making it firmer, and it will support more weight. Then, we can send rockets to other planets and do the same! When we have single handedly increased the firmness of the atmosphere of every planet in the universe, it will prevent the collapse!!

Who wants to breathe blue toilet bowl jellow?
Riiight
C'mon, Sis, there's plenty you can do. Exercise left-wing morality and simply raise awareness.
Raise awareness? You're saying there's a ribbon I can wear to save the universe?
Yay! Ribbons!
Ribbons will save the universe...
No thanks!
Can't say I'm too concerned about this little tidbit of information, much more worried about the imminent collapse of this country.
Oh thank God! At first I thought it said 13 MILLION!
Come on guys, ten trillion bezillion years, in geological time, is like -- tomorrow!
I wonder if it's ever going to occur to people that when scientists tell us about the nature of the universe, they're actually MAKING SH!T UP!!!
RKae for the THREAD WIN!

But if they make it sound good they get their name in a scientific journal, which might lead to tenure.
It’s not your fault unless you’ve been careless with your black hole.
Okay, this might be MY fault then.
I once bought a black hole from the A.C.M.E. corporation, put it somewhere that I would not forget....and never saw it again.
So if the universe collapses in a few billion years, I will accept full responsibility.
Edit, If that happens, I would understand if some of ya were so upset you never spoke to me again.
Everyone makes mistakes...
We forgive you as long as you caught that stupid roadrunner.
I hated that roadrunner.
I suppose this is going to be my fault since I use a wood stove, drive a pickup and an SUV and eat meat...These people are totally nuts....Climbing the walls, eating poo nuts...
It's not your fault unless you've been careless with your black hole.
I don't think I have been careless, but there were some times in the mid 70's when Schlitz Malt Liquor took control of me.....kinda hazy....
Taken advantage of by "The Bull", eh? That happened to me a time or two in my youth.

twas the first beer I tried, when they let us have beer partway through basic. couldn't finish it. it was, how shall i put this? Oh yes. NASSTY.
You were allowed beer in basic?
ayup. several weeks in.
Global warming strikes again.
Universe collapse denier!
This is good news!
Since we have this to worry about, we can ignore Globull Warming!
