Which hypothesis about the fate of the universe says that it will expand continuously as the galaxies drift far apart and all stars as well as environments suitable to sustain life eventually die out?

The expansion is related to the Big Bang.The fact that an environment suitable to sustain life will eventually die out is a natural consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

What will the last galaxy in the universe be?
It is impossible to know for certain, it likely doesn't even exist yet as galaxies continuously form, merge and are torn apart.
How is earth's composition related to the big bang?
The Earth's composition is more relevant to the the Nebular Hypothesis for the formation of solar systems is more appropriate to explain the origin of planets. However, the Big Bang creation event did provide for the matter and energy which eventually facilitated the formation of black holes, galaxies, solar systems and then the planets.
Do all galaxies follow the law of gravity?
That is what has been observed, except that spiral galaxies rotate faster than would be expected based on the matter we can see. Thus we infer the existence of dark matter in the rims of these galaxies. An alternative hypothesis is that something is terribly wrong with our theory of gravity. To the best of our knowledge the rules of physics are the same no matter where you go.
How time is affected between the galaxies as there is no mass there?
In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.In fact, galaxies have an enormous mass.
Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because?
Because irregular galaxies have no definite shape.
Is the statement Life exists on planets in other galaxies a scientific hypothesis?
No, it is a statement, but there is a hypothesis that there is life in other galaxies, or even outside the solar system but in our own galaxy, but it can't really be described as scientific because no evidence has ever been found.
What is one way that an elliptical galaxy differs from the other types of galaxies?
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.
How does the galaxy get bigger?
Galaxies get bigger by a process of merging. The gravitational attraction of the galaxy and the dark matter round it pull in satellite galaxies and these merge with the main galaxy. Eventually large galaxies merge to form large elliptical galaxies. look at the link below.
What is a merging galaxy?
Not "a" merging galaxy - merging galaxies. Sometimes two (or even more) galaxies collide, and eventually combine (i.e., "merge") into a single galaxy.
Does Every Galaxy Merge Eventually?
The answer to this is we do not know but it looks unlikely.The expansion of the universe appears to be speeding up. Local Galaxies might merge into larger galaxies but these galaxies will expand faster and faster away from each other.
What will the last galaxy in the universe be?
It is impossible to know for certain, it likely doesn't even exist yet as galaxies continuously form, merge and are torn apart.
Do all the galaxies form a bigger galaxy?
Over time - billions of years - galaxies will merge with other galaxies. In about 3 billion years, the Andromeda galaxy will merge with our own galaxy, the Milky Way.However, the separation between galaxies is so great, that not all galaxies will merge unless the fundamental issue of the amount of mass in the Universe is determined.If we live in a "contracting universe" then eventually all galaxies will merge.

What is a gaseous cloud of helium and hydrogen that eventually condensed down to form the stars in galaxies?
protogalactic cloud
How the size of the universe changed not the size or mass of the earth JUST the universe?
The Universe is continuously expanding. The distance between galaxies increases. The amount of space in the Universe increases.
