Expansion of the universe does not deplete energy. All matter decays into backround radiation however, so whether the universe is expanding or not(and it almost definatley is), it will use up all its energy anyway.

The earth has not changed significantly in mass in the last 65 million years.

Also, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, was the gravitational pull significantly less?

No.

Since you are all figments of my imagination, the instant I die you will all cease to exist.

There is no universe outside of me.

I don't know that either. I presume it was sarcasm.

you didn't answer the question, Ves

As things are now however, it does not seem likley.

Really? Is that why evolutionary biologists dedicate their entire lives to figuring it out? Because people only marginally more educated than the functionally retarded should know how it works? Evolution is not all that complicated, evolutionary biologists focus on specific parts of it, understanding the basis is not all that complex, a 12 year old should have little trouble understanding it the first time it is explained to them.0

Now for the interesting question: is the universe expanding endlessly or will it eventually stop expanding and start contracting, thus ending with a "big crunch"? Big Crunch.

So you don't know, either? Yeah, that's what I thought. If conditions came up where it is advantagous to a species to grow gradually larger, to the point where it reached the size of the dinosaurs, if it made individuals with this trate more likley to mate, or their offsprings more likley to live, then yes.

Otherwise, no.

I'm off to work.

Evolution is a simple concept. You don't need a PHD to have a simple understanding of it.

Watching vesayen and lancer argue about science is ****ing painful.

The Universe will eventually collapse back into itself. Then another Big Bang will occur and events will transpire exactly as they had before.

Anyway, about dark energy and dark matter. Has anyone ever figured out what that stuff is?

Another physics question, when you get down to it, isn't everything basically just some form of energy? all matter is merely energy condemned to a slow vibration
