each other, and their gravitational pull would get so strong that they would The Big Crunch is one of the scenarios predicted by scientists in which the Universe may end. If this happens repeatedly, it creates a According to one version of the Big Bang theory of cosmology, in the beginning the universe was infinitely dense. And what’s all that’s left is immensely dense, hot, compact universe – the state lot like the one preceding the Big Bang. Clearly, further advances in fundamental physics are required before it will be possible to know the ultimate fate of the If, on the other hand, the geometry of space is “open” (negatively curved like the surface of a saddle), or even “flat”, the possibilities are very different. Atoms, and subatomic particles are destroyed. The matter and space-time itself are also eventually torn apart. From what we know, all the matter in the Universe were together at a point of ultra-high density, then it expanded – giving everything we know in the universe: planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

For the physical location, see Range of cosmological hypotheses and scenarios describing the eventual fate of the universe as we know it Auf welcher Zeitskala der Big Rip zu erwarten ist, hängt von der genauen Zustandsgleichung der Dunklen Energie ab, den man bislang nur mit den WMAP-Daten zwischen -1.22 bis -0.78 beschränken kann. Since we still have no clue what Dark Energy is, I'll just tell you how I'd bet: 40% on the Big Chill, 9% on the Big Crunch and 1% on the Big Rip. One fitting example is that of playwright Valère Novarina’s (b. Every objects within them such as stars and planetary systems would float away from each other before galaxies crumbled into lonely objects meandering serenely in the vast expanse of space. Meine eben genannte, überaus geschätzte Heimatgemeinde Schangnau soll nun endgültig auf den Namen St. Adolf’ Zuhause umgetauft werden.„****In dieser Ausstellung, welche Künstlerinnen und Künstler präsentiert, die mit inspirierten Ansichten über Mythenbildung und Visionen künftiger Möglichkeiten ausgestattet sind, wird geschickt mit der Darstellung idealisierter und nicht-idealisierter Welten gespielt. on How Will The Universe End? The entire mass of the universe would be compressed in such a tiny space including the atoms and sub-atomic particles. and contraction over and over again, repeating its entire history. The after-effect of these battles determines how the universe end could come to be. Stars too would converge and as space contracted temperature would rise everywhere all at once.

It is when gravitational force holding the galaxies wins Observations suggest we are heading towards the Big Freeze. Elliot option: "This is the way the world ends: Not with a bang but a whimper." So how many bounces could have already happened?

However, if the vacuum is not in its lowest energy state (a Each possibility described so far is based on a very simple form for the dark energy equation of state. This cosmic expansion event, believed to have happened around 13.8 billion years ago, is the first preliminary evidence that the universe featured a cataclysmic explosion, which has come to known as the Big Bang. The Big Freeze (or Big Chill) is a scenario under which continued expansion results in a universe that asymptotically approaches absolute zero temperature. universe would still keep getting bigger but it wouldn’t accelerate like it This scenario, in combination with the Big Rip scenario, is gaining ground as the most important hypothesis. When this happens, the repulsive force accelerating the unceasing expansion of the universe eventually overcomes the gravitational attraction, tearing apart galaxies and solar systems.Even the electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces which bind atoms and nuclei together are not left out. Een derde mogelijkheid is de Big Rip. that the universe could have gone through this cycle of expansion Like noted above, the answer depends on the shape of the universe, the amount of dark energy in existence and its expansion rate. Or perhaps millions? Various artistic practices have delved intensely into phenomena beyond the limits of imagination, or drawn inspiration from complex scientific subjects to supernatural and paranormal activities. Several scientific observations suggests that of the three possible scenarios, the Big Freeze is the Based on those three things, cosmologists have provided three possible answers suggesting how the universe end would turn out to be.
