Some physicists have argued that it is doomed to be ripped apart by runaway dark energy, while others think it is bouncing through an endless series of big bangs and big crunches.

The model could solve the mystery of why our early universe was surprisingly well ordered."

Journal Journal: Computer Lung

I had the great idea of dusting out the inside of my family's computers, which had probably not been dusted out for at least a good year. While the dusting out seems to have done wonders for case temperatures, it was the devil on my lungs when I first pointed the can of compressed air at the CPU fan. This all leads me to wonder, is it possible to get Computer Lung from dusting out too many uncared-for computers?
