‘It's so silly': Study reveals how long the universe has left until the ‘Big Crunch' occurs

'It's so silly – I mean the Earth, according to this article, has been around for 13.8 billion years, so we're not even halfway through Earth's life cycle, so you hear people stressing about the end of the world,' she said. 'It's ok, guys. We've got another 20 billion years.'
