And when the universe has finished exploding, all the stars will slow down, like a ball that has been thrown to the air, and they will come to a halt and they will begin to fall toward the center of the universe again. And then there will be nothing to stop us from seeing all the stars in the world because they will all be moving toward us, gradually faster and faster, and we will know that the world is going to end soon because when we look up into the sky at night there will be no darkness, just the blazing light of stars, all falling.
