Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) team leader Simon Driver, of the University of Western Australia, said in a statement "We used as many space and ground-based telescopes as we could get our hands on. The universe has basically sat down on the sofa, pulled up a blanket and is about to nod off for an eternal doze".
Currently, the energy that the stars and other celestial bodies produce is half that of 2 billion years ago, and the universe is getting darker, the researchers have discovered.
An international team of scientists has confirmed that our universe is dying.
