What theory suggests the Universe will come to an end when its ever-increasing rate of expansion cause all matters to fly apart?

Answer 1

This is a question that is difficult to answer because there is so much we still don't know. However, based on what we do know, there is no cause for concern. Most scientists doubt that the universe will end at any time soon. There is no evidence of any catastrophic event that might cause such a thing to occur. Of course, anything is possible, but it is not likely that there will be an end to the universe.

Answer 2

Recent space exploration that lends credence to the theory of how the universe was formed would be special satellites that are studying asteroids. The landing on Mars of a space Land Rover was very helpful in determining that life once existed on Mars.

Answer 3

Current models predict that there is not enough mass in the universe to stop its ever accelerating expansion.

The universe will continue to expand indefinitely. Stars will continue to convert hydrogen and helium into black holes, photons and heavy elements, gradually depleting the available hydrogen and helium necessary for star production, and dissipating their mass/energy throughout the universe.

Eventually, no more new stars will be produced, and the universe will be filled with the cooling remnants of dead stars. Models predict that many of these remnants will be sucked up by giant black holes, such as the one in the center of our galaxy.

But ultimately, even these black holes will radiate their mass into the expanding universe, through Hawking radiation, releasing their final grams of mass in extremely energetic explosions.

It is theorized that even protons have a decay rate, and are ultimately not stable. Sometime in the deep, deep future, when stars are less than the most distant memory, protons themselves will release their mass/energy to the void in the form of radiation, and matter will no longer exist.

From then on till eternity, the universe will be a cold, dark, expanding void, in which can be found nothing more substantial than the occasional ageing photon.

This scenario of cosmic development is called the Heat Death.

Answer 4

The universe doesn't have an end, so obviously you can't travel there.

If the universe did have an "end" (it's difficult to imagine what this would be like), you still couldn't get there, because the expansion of the universe means it would be receding from us at more than the speed of light.

Answer 5

In terms of an end in time, current theory is that yes, this universe will collapse back to a single point - a reverse of the big bang.

In terms of an end in space, then no, the universe is thought to be endless, curving back on itself as it were.

Answer 6

Well, there's the theory that every star will eventually burn out... That's entropy. The only effect that continual universal expansion will have on the Milky Way is that galaxies will just get farther an farther away. The galactic center will hold all the stars in place; which will in turn hold all the planets in place.

Answer 7

The latest theoury was that there was literally nothing or white and there only was one small moliquil. Then it was a big bang and it expanded in a billionth of a billionth of a second

Answer 8

No; it will never happen.
