"Time is running out - literally, says scientist

By Tom Chivers and Roger Highfield, Science Editor

Scientists have come up with the radical suggestion that the universe's end may come not with a bang but a standstill - that time could be literally running out and could, one day, stop altogether."

If time were to keep winding down we would simply slow down to match it. We would never perceive it, except in the way they discovered in the first place, by staring off into irrelevant corners of space. How would this affect anything?

Odd. I haven't b e e n  n  o  t  i  c  i  n  g    a   n   y      t    i    m    e        d     i     l     a     t     i     o     n          r      e      c      e      n      t      l      y      .
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

I wonder what effect this will have on the Time Cube guy?

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!
