Scientific paper

It is shown that if the universe expands forever, it will become increasingly irregular in the far future. In particular, it is demonstrated that the Hawking black-hole evaporation process causes a vortical instability to develop in spatially homogeneous spacetimes which are approximately k = 0 Friedmann universes. The increase of irregularity is associated with the increase of gravitational-field entropy, thus providing a novel picture of the universal heat death.
