The Big Rip is one of the hypotheses for the end of the Universe. It has been observed that the expansion of the Universe is actually accelerating rather than slowing down. Based on this some scientists think the Universe will expand so fast that the fundamental forces, including gravity, will be overwhelmed and everything in the Universe will be "ripped apart". In other words, matter will disintegrate, and even spacetime may be destroyed, causing the Universe to cease to exist altogether. The Big Rip would not happen in an instant. Rather as the Universe expands it will go through a process of disintegration in which every stucture, from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles, will break down.
The fate of the Universe depends on whether gravity or dark energy will win the "war". In the Big Rip hypothesis, dark energy accelerates the expansion of the Universe and overcomes gravity. If gravity "won" the opposite of the Big Rip would occur: the Big Crunch.

∙ 14y agoThe big rip is a hypothetical extrapolation from the observed fact that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. The big rip is just one theory of what might happen; and it is not a generally-accepted theory.
It is not yet exactly known what makes the expansion of the Universe faster (when it was expected it would slow down, because of gravity). This is still an area of active research. Search for "dark energy" for more details.

∙ 11y agoThe Big Rip is in which the matter of the universe, from stars and galaxies to atoms and subatomic particles, is progressively torn apart by the expansion of the universe at a certain time in the future.

Does the big bang theory support the big rip theory?
No
What similarity is there between the big chill theory and the big rip theory?
There is a small similarity in that they both theorise the Universe will continue to expand. The outcome, is where they differ. In the big freeze theory, the Universe just continues to expand until all matter is used up and becomes a lifeless and very cold place. In the Big Rip theory, the Universe itself is actually ripped apart. All bound objects are pulled apart. See related links for more information.
What would the big rip do to a black hole?
It would rip it to shreds like the rest of the universe.
How is the big bang theory is an example od scienctific theory?
Hello i am minakshi answer is that the big bang theory is an example of old scientific theory as big bang theory explains that there was an explosion but the isotropy and the homogenity of the universe is not explained by big bang theory to explain his we connect inflatation theory with big bang theory to explain it so the big bang theory is also an example of old scientific theory.
What is the accepted name for the theory which explains the formation of our universe?
The Big Bang is the theory that was developed to describe the origins of the universe.

Can farts actually rip holes in your underwear?
Yes they can if its a really big fart.
What theory competed with the Big Bang theory for awhile as an explanation for the expansion of the universe?
The most usual name is the "Steady State" theory. The term "Big Bang" was actually coined by someone who was a proponent of the Steady State theory as a way of making fun of it.
How is the big bang theory different from the oscillating theory?
The Oscillation Hypothesis (despite the common use, neither version is actually a Theory) is that after the Universe expands so far, gravity pulls it back to a singularity and a new Big Bang starts it all over again, possibly with an entirely different set of constants and physical laws. This view is losing support because recent investigation has revealed that the Universe is not slowing down from the Big Bang, but is in fact, speeding up a little. The latest wrinkle is that Everything will not end in a Big Crunch, but will get so thin that it will just fade away, the so-called "Big Rip."
Will the universe end in a big rip?
The "big rip" is a possibility that has been discussed, about the future fate of the Universe - not something that has been confirmed.

Will there be a big bang theory film based on the sitcom?
yes. the show has actually been picked up for a third and fourth season
