The "temperature in the universe" curve looks like the diagram describing an atom reaching a lower energylevel.

That won't cut it. If you're not going to support your assertions, why even post the thread?Originally posted by QuantumNet
All I've seen.
Currently, it is estimated that the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate and will continue to do so for billions of years. Therefore, it is difficult to predict exactly when the universe will reach a lower energy level.
The expansion of the universe is primarily driven by dark energy and the distribution of matter. Other factors such as the density of dark matter and the amount of radiation also play a role in the rate of expansion.
It is theorized that the universe will eventually reach a state of maximum entropy, meaning that all energy will be evenly distributed and no work can be done. However, this is estimated to occur in trillions of years, which is significantly longer than the current age of the universe.
Scientists use various methods, such as studying the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies, to measure the energy level of the universe. These measurements can give insights into the expansion rate and overall energy content of the universe.
While it is always possible for new discoveries and theories to change our understanding of the universe, current research and observations suggest that the universe will continue to expand at an accelerated rate for billions of years.
