The Heat Death of The Universe

By Jacob Braunfeld
Heat Death
In the entire universe, there is a given amount of energy. That amount of energy never changes due to the law of conservation. The law of conservation states that, in an isolated system the amount of energy never changes because energy cannot be created or destroyed. The 2nd law of thermodynamics says that if energy can spread out it will. That is why perpetual motion machines are theoretically impossible. Energy will always manage to spread out whenever it can in minuscule amounts which eventually causes things to stop moving.        
Anything we do requires energy, moving, falling, even lying down. As long as our bodies are actively working and are brains are actively making connections, we are expending the energy that we get from our food. As humans grow more technologically advanced we are expending and distributing more and more energy in the form of burning fuels and other methods of energy gathering.
It is estimated that in about 10100 years, the universe will reach appoint called heat death. Heat death does not so much have to do with temperature as it has to do with energy distribution. When anything happens, energy is moving from one area, to an area with less energy. Because of this, when energy levels are the same in a certain place, nothing can happen. It is theorized that the heat death would be a full equilibrium of energy throughout the universe.
