Maybe there would be an eternity of black holes boiling / protons decaying. I doubt that since something ought to lose stability in the long run.


If spacetime continues to accelerate its expansion, a black hole at the future end of time might be like suddenly dropping the air pressure over a boiling pot of water--or maybe more like popping a blackhead pimple by stretching the skin on either side of it.

I am not a theoretical physicist, though, so whenever I think too hard about how that would actually work, I give myself a headache and need a good lie-down in a very dark room.
