Yes, a coasting universe will always expand. For more informaton read Edwin Hubble's Law.

What evidence has led scientist to predict that the universe will continue to expand forever?

Scientists predict that the universe will continue to expand forever based on observations of the universe's current rate of expansion, known as the Hubble constant, and measurements of the universe's overall density. These observations suggest that the expansion is accelerating, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy, which counters the effects of gravity and pushes galaxies further apart.


What do scietists think will eventually happen to the universe?

Scientists predict that the universe will continue to expand indefinitely, eventually becoming cold and dark in what is referred to as the "heat death" scenario. This will occur as all stars burn out, leaving behind remnants of galaxies and black holes.


Why does space keep going and going and never stops?

Space is constantly expanding because of the force of dark energy, causing galaxies to move away from each other. There is no boundary or edge to the universe, so it appears to go on forever. Gravity from matter in the universe acts as a brake on this expansion, but dark energy seems to be winning, pushing the universe to expand at an accelerating rate.


What are the three possible fates of the universe?

1. The universe will keep expanding forever 2. The expansion of the universe will gradually slow down, and the universe will approach a limit in size. 3. The universe will stop expanding and start to fall back in on itself.


When did the universe begin to expand?

The universe began to expand around 13.8 billion years ago during an event known as the Big Bang. This expansion continues to this day, and is a fundamental component of the evolution of the universe as we know it.

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.


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.


Will the universe expand forever will it stop or will it reverse itself according to the general theory of relavitiy it all depends on how much matter is within the universe this all depends on what f?

According to the general theory of relativity, the ultimate fate of the universe depends on its density of matter and energy. If the density is above a certain critical value, the universe will stop expanding and eventually collapse in a "Big Crunch." If the density is below this critical value, the universe will continue to expand forever. Current evidence suggests that the universe's expansion is accelerating, indicating a low density and a future where it expands indefinitely.

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.

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.


What is the subject of the sentence Will it expand forever?

It.
