Universe is slowly dying, say scientists

Astronomers studying 200,000 galaxies have confirmed that the universe is slowly dying.

Lead scientist professor Simon Driver, from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in Western Australia, said: “The universe is fated to decline from here on in, like an old age that lasts forever.
