Submission + - Is the Universe disappearing?

StartsWithABang writes: If everything began with the Big Bang — from a hot, dense, expanding state — and things have been cooling, spreading out, but slowing down ever since, you might think that means that given enough time (and a powerful enough space ship), we'll eventually be able to reach any other galaxy. But thanks to dark energy, not only is that not the case at all, but most of the galaxies in our Universe are already completely unreachable by us, with more leaving our potential reach all the time. Fascinating, terrifying stuff.

You could be right about that (charging time) - I'm thinking more in terms of topping off a battery or keeping something running rather than doing a full charge. BioLite had a cool demo setup at Maker Faire, and their position seemed to be that the USB power thing was more of a value add than the main selling point of the stove (clean burning and compact).
