The notion of a parallel universe is gaining in popularity within the scientific community; what do you think? (is it possible, and if so, what would it be like?)

I have heard from different scientific sources stating different ages for the Universe such as 13.7 billion or 14.7 billion. I would like to know which is correct and how the number is derived.

My understanding of stellar life cycles is that they eventually run out of core fusion fuel, so they begin fusing fuel in the other layers of the star, causing them to swell into red giants. As they consume their fuel, they eject their outer layers, which form a planetary nebula surrounding the cooler white dwarf. Finally, it cools into a black dwarf.

I don't understand what causes them to lose their mass. Is fusion actually consuming mass, losing it as radiated energy? In that case, does a loss of mass cause a loss of gravity, allowing the material to escape?

Also, are black dwarfs permanent structures, or do they decay further?

someone once told me - leave that sheep alone
then someone else told me, you need 3 things for fire - fuel, heat and oxygen.
given that theres no oxygen in space how does the sun work. is god just havin a laugh with a massive flashlight.

How does it save when we got to burn more lights because it is so dark out in the morning time

I would rather look at the deepest corners of the Universe than watch a few lucky a*sholes waving at us from Mars.

Considering the vast distances that exist beween the stars, galaxies etc., and the general acceptance that we cannot be the only life form to have evolved in the universe...then isn't the question we sould be asking....'WHEN did other intelligent life exist', not IF it exists.....surely in a thousand years time it is more likely that we will have found countless extinct civilisations throughout the universe and none who are able to interact with us....and wouldn't this make us feel more lonely than ever?

i just thought of this cause i heard that the moon is getting farther away from earth slowly so i was wondering if its possible for it (while its orbiting) to crash into the sun.

Could the position of our galaxy in the Milky Way, and among the stars, be contributing to the Global Warming problem? Could something so small as the distance to a star have any effect? Or should we just attribute it to mankind's rape of the natural world?
