After just one trillion years, Krauss added, astronomers will no longer be able to observe the universe's expansion, constant microwave background, red shift of galaxies and other cosmic hallmarks.

"Those are really all at the basis of our modern understanding of cosmology," said Krauss, who said he first began theorizing about the future of the universe to discern how it might end. "People of the future won't be able to know what the universe is doing."

That puts astronomers in a unique position today to study the universe, he added.

One TRILLION Years from now astronomers will be out of jobs! UH OH!

In one trillion years, mankind will be too stupid to breed astronomers anymore.  We have to dumb down the SATs every 5 years right now; in a trillion years, people will forget to unzip their flies before letting go at the urinal.

You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to snake out without moving any clothing. Gosh.
