They say that our Universe may not collapse back into a singularity but may just become unmoving, static. They go on to say that eventually our Universe will cool down to absolute zero. At this temperature I would assume everything would cease to exist. But, my question is; What becomes of all the energy? Why would our Universe cool?

Also, now say that our Universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. Would the cooling work the same in this instance?

Godshrew -- Please quit wasting my time with your silliness. It has become tiring.

The universe would not cool to absolute zero. It would end up at a medium temperature according to the law of entropy. All the heat from warm places would move to the cooler places and the cooler places would warm up until the whole universe was at one uniform temperature, at which point all heat transfer would cease. This has been called the "heat death of the universe".

As a gas expands it cools. Same thing is happening with the universe - it is expanding and cooling. IT will continue to expand forever according to the current theory. That means it will continually cool towards absolute zero, never reaching it but always getting closer and closer.

BIG Meltdown should take care of frozen chosen.
As for the rest, of us, it's so peaceful without them.
God knows you can't truly rest with in-laws around.

Time expires: ask any parking meter.
Only what began can end. Law began.
Grace has neither beginning nor end.

What's ready to vanish: Hebrews 8:13

Leaving us with:

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
