As Lineweaver explained, because our Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, our Universe has a cosmic event horizon (CEH). Its an event horizon Jim, but not as we know it...Image credit: DALL.E2 by SR Anderson Events beyond the CEH will never be observed. The CEH is also the source of de Sitter radiation, which has a specific temperature TdS. It is the minimum possible temperature of the Universe, and, it is not absolute zero (zero Kelvins). Numerically TdS≈2.4×10−30K, the universal minimum (black body) `absolute cold' local temperature of the future dS state. As a comparison, in 2020 the NASA Cold Atom lab was able to cool an atom to a record low ∼2×10−7K. Now, in any theory one may think of temperature as an energy, and from the semi-classical Unruh relationship, temperature ∼ acceleration. Therefore: EdS=Tds kB=ℏa2πc What we g...
