I don't think most people comprehend the greatest astronomical discovery of the twentieth century, but fact check, because Dark Energy is stretching the fabric of the universe, the universe is literally expanding, and the whole entire universe and everything in it will inevitably explode to it's own extinction. I used my time in isolation to conduct a diligent investigation into this very serious threat to our entire form of existence. I studied astronomy, physics, archeology, overall science, and even The Bible, because "eternal life" sounds a whole lot like the "infinite energy" that very well may be released when this universe blows itself up. I transformed my conclusion into a novel, Thank you, and please enjoy this extremely accurate glimpse of your incoming doom.
