Can quantum entanglement survive a black hole?
When one member of an entangled pair of particles falls into the black hole, is the entanglement broken?
And if not, is there any way to test and confirm its persistence?

Will anything persist when the Universe dies?
The last star will burn out, the last black hole will decay, and entropy will reach its maximum: a heat death.
After all that, can any trace of our existence still persist?

Can we see the expanding Universe changing?
We've measured the expanding Universe by looking at many objects at different distances and with different redshifts.
Here's how we'll measure it directly: with just one object over time.

How long can the longest-lived star shine?
It's been 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang, but the longest-lived stars will shine for many trillions of years.
How long do we have before the last survivor goes out?

How much damage could a cosmic ray do to a human?
Cosmic rays come in all varieties of energy and speed, with the most energetic ones outstripping even LHC protons by a factor of millions.
What would happen if one hit you?
