The Universe’s Final Fate
The Universe’s Final Fate
Astronomy – Cosmology
There are a bunch of theories that predict how the universe dies. Some of them are named, Heat Death, Big Crunch, Big Rip, and so on. But today we’re going to talk about the theory – THE BIG CRUNCH.
The Big Crunch
Big
Crunch is a hypothetical scenario that describes the 'death' of the universe.
We know that the universe is expanding at an accelerating speed.
According
to this theory, after trillions of years, the expansion of the universe stops
and reverses. That means the universe will start to collapse. When the universe
is getting smaller and smaller, the temperature of the universe will begin to
rise dramatically. And at some point, the universe will contract so dense that
it will be the size of a singularity. It will be somewhat similar to the
singularity which started the universe. The entire matter of the universe is
contracted in this singularity with an infinite mass and infinite temperature.
After that, this singularity will start a new universe with a big bang.
But this theory is less likely to happen than the Heat Death scenario. But I like this theory because in this scenario, the universe will never die, it will be ETERNAL. (I hope so)
