What do scietists think will eventually happen to the universe?
the universe will continue to expand forever and ultimately most of the matter will be turned to heat energy.
What evidence has led scientist to predict that the universe will continue to expand forever?
dark energy...anybody else having a super hard time in math? ya i am.
Does red shift expand the universe?
Redshift does not expand the universe. Redshift is a physical quantity that is used to describe the expansion of the universe. The current time has a redshift of zero. at redshift 1, the universe was half the size it is now. At redshift 2, the universe was 1/3 the size it is now, and so on. if redshift is z, then (size of universe at redshift z)/(current size of universe)= 1/(z+1)
How long would it take to walk across the Universe?
Probably FOREVER!
When did the universe begin to expand?
As soon as it began its existence (13.7 billion years ago).
What is a universe that will continue to expand forever called?
Mathematically, it's called an "open" universe. As best we can tell as of now, our Universe is open.
What do scietists think will eventually happen to the universe?
the universe will continue to expand forever and ultimately most of the matter will be turned to heat energy.
Is the universe truly infinite?
The theory is that the universe 13.5-14.0 billions year ago was infinitely small but expanded very rapidly after the big bang.e.g. an expanding universe could1) expand until it reaches a size where it starts to contract2) expand forever but the speed of the expansion slows down in time until the expansion is almost not measurable3) expand forever at a fixed rate4) expand forever at an increasing rate (gets bigger, faster)The current theory is that the universe continues to expand and does so at an increasingly fast rate (e.g. item 4 above)Therefore, the best answer to your question is yes: the universe is truly infinitive because it will continue to expand and this expansions will be faster and faster the more time that goes by.
Is the universe infinitely expanding or does it expand to a particular limit?
This question has been giving nightmares to cosmologists for years.But with the current evidences, scientists have determined that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate and it will expand forever.
What type of universe doesn't expand forever?
Closed: Is where there is sufficient gravity to halt the expansion of the universe, after which is slowly starts to contract until "The Big Crunch".
Do the universe expand?
Yes, the universe expand.
What did most scientists think about how the universe began?
The generally accepted model is called the "Big Bang". It means that all the matter and energy of the Universe was in a tiny space, some 13.8 billion years ago or so, at a tremendously high temperature and density. From there, it started to expand; currently, the Universe continues expanding, and will probably continue to expand forever.
What are the three predictions of your Universe?
The "Big Crunch" idea was that the expansion would eventually stop and the universe would collapse. All evidence today says no way. The "Yo-Yo" says the universe repeatedly expand, collpses and then expands again of a roughly 70 billion year cycle. There is no evidence for this. The "Big Rip" says the universe will simply expand forever, with other galaxies gradually getting so far away that they fade in the distance, and then stars burn out and everything gets cold and dark forever.
What evidence has led scientist to predict that the universe will continue to expand forever?
dark energy...anybody else having a super hard time in math? ya i am.
Is the universe everything?
the universe can not be everything because there has to be space for it to expand into
What happened to universe right after big bang?
It began to expand in size. There is a hole at that point in our knowledge of the early universe but without a doubt the universe began to expand.
Why do galaxies expand?
They don't expand. There just leftover from the explosion of the universe.
