If our understanding of the fundamental, microscopic laws of nature is correct, we can specify the state of the universe at any time, and from there derive both the past and the future.

Sean Carroll (2010)



… might be a few million times as massive as the Sun – big compared to any individual star, but still small compared to the galaxy. But it will continue to grow, sweeping up whatever unfortunate stars happen to fall into it.
If we wait long enough – and now we’re talking 10100 years or so – even the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies will evaporate.

Sean Carroll (2010)
