No. It's generally believed that the universe has insufficient mass density to slow or halt its expansion (and in fact, there's some evidence that the rate of expansion is actually increasing due to "dark energy", which is a slightly more academically acceptable way of saying "we don't know what").
Excellent answer!
The Universe (our universe) will probably end in a «Big RIP» or a «Big Freeze» scenario, after the «Dark Era and Photon Age», about 10100 years from now.
Please rememer that after the «Dark Era» age, what happens after this is speculative.
There could even occur a new «Big Bang», supereons after the «Dark Era».
Or else the «String Theory» is correct, and our universe is a «membane», or «Brane», and may collide with another «brane» sooner, creating a new universe, God nows what type of universe would be created...
A good example of visible energy is found in the stars. An example of invisible matter is the "dark matter" that scientists believe surrounds galaxies. So, one answer to the question would be "in and around galaxies".
Believe it or not, it is Antartica and/or the Atacama Desert. Scientists disagree.
Yes. To be more exact, it is "space" within the "observed universe" that is expanding. A confusing fact is that many astronomers believe the universe as a whole may already be infinite in size. This doesn't stop them saying the observable universe is still expanding. "Infinity" is a tricky idea.
sikhs do believe in the big bang theory. it was written in the guru granth sahib ji before scientists found out.
Random chance. IF you want to believe that someone (or thing) started it you are then left with the question of who or what made Him (or It).
Scientists believe that galaxies were formed from the gravitational collapse of large clouds of gas and dust in the early universe. As these clouds collapsed, they formed smaller structures that eventually evolved into galaxies. The exact mechanisms of galaxy formation are still an area of active research in astrophysics.
Scientists believe that wormholes may exist in the universe, potentially connecting different points in space and time.
Scientists believe so.
There is no evidence of that, in fact most scientists believe it is expanding.
No one knows till now but scientists believe that there can be a black hole in the centre of the Universe.
Most scientist probably believe that the Big Bang created the universe and eventually the Earth. However most also believe there was some time of intelligence that guided it, as the odds against it happening as pure chance are astronomical.
Scientists believe the "first event" in the Universe was the Big Bang. The Big Bang Theory attempts to explain how the universe was originally created.
The Big Bang Theory
Scientists believe that gravitational forces were primarily responsible for clumping matter together to form the first stars after the Big Bang. As the universe expanded and cooled, regions of density fluctuations in the primordial gas began to collapse under their own gravity. This process led to the formation of protostars, which eventually ignited nuclear fusion, marking the birth of the first stars.
The universe may be: 1) "open", which means it will continue to expand forever but at a decreasing rate. 2) "flat", which means it will eventually stop expanding but never reverse. 3) "closed", which means the universe will expand to a maximum size and then collapse in upon itself in a reversal of the big bang. The total mass-density of the universe determines which scenario will be realized. At a critical mass-density, the universe is flat. Some research has drawn scientists to believe the expansion of universe is actually accelerating. That means that the universe may actually be expanding more and more rapidly, due to a force called "dark energy". The existence of this dark energy would complicate all of the above scenarios.
Currently, scientists in general believe that. As a result, I would hazard a guess that many philosophers will accept this idea, as well. For more details, do some reading about the Big Bang.
UniversesNo one can surely answer that, but some scientists believe that there are more than one universe. They call this multiverse.
