The Universe will cease to exist in 10 million years ?

I don't think 10 million years is accurate at all... but then again, I have no
official scientific credentials so don't listen to me. I did find the following quote
amusing:

[quote:b054b]-- Only about 4 percent of the universe is composed of atoms -- the "ordinary matter" making up the physical universe we know. About 23 percent is "cold, dark matter," about which scientists know little, and 73 percent is "exotic dark energy," about which they know even less. [/quote:b054b]

What do you think this 'exotic dark energy' is ? ;-)

There's more to the Universe than meets the eye...
