Perhaps you refer to the word "entropy"? The concept that everything tends to fall apart and an input of energy is required to maintain order and stability. This could be in reference to one of the Laws of Thermodynamics, or to cosmology, or psychology. Basically, stuff wants to fall apart. :)
Actually, it's not entirely accurate to say that "everything tends to slow down and fall apart". Although that may ultimately be the case, there's nothing to stop things speeding up and coming together in the meantime. Gravity, for instance, tends to speed up things and bring them together. Combine gravity with nuclear forces, and you get a hugely complex coming together of stuff - just look at the interior of your average G-type star.

What actually is the big rip theory?
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.
How did the universe begin for kids?
The universe began about 13.8 billion years ago with a huge explosion called the Big Bang. At that moment, everything was packed into a tiny point, and then it expanded very quickly, spreading out energy and matter. As it cooled down, stars and galaxies formed, creating the amazing universe we see today. It's like a balloon getting bigger and bigger as you blow air into it!
What will cause the rate of expansion of the universe to slow down?
The expansion rate of the universe is determined by the mass of the things in the universe and the strength of the gravitational force. The universe would start to slow down if some new form of matter were to intervene which incresed the over all mass of the universe, or if there's some property of gravity that we don't know of, where at some threshold it actually becomes stronger.
What model asserts the universe will stop expanding A High Density Universe B Low Density Universe C Critical Density Universe D both A and C or E none of the above?
C. Critical Density Universe. This model suggests that the expansion of the universe will eventually slow down and stop, leading to a stable universe.
Does the gravity of the earth pulls everything down or the universe itself stretch and push everything down?

An open universe is one that?
An open universe is a universe where all of the galaxies and stars and everything in the universe keep expanding with nothing stopping them. This theory says that the galaxies and stars will keep going further and further from the centre of the universe until everything dies off. This is the opposite of the closed universe theory where everything will expand, and then something will cause a turning point and everything will contract until everything there ever was will fit into a space the size of the dot at the end of this sentence. Then, possibly another 'Big Bang' will happen and start everything over again. :)
What is gravity's role in the expansion of the Universe?
It was believed for quite a while that gravity would slow the expansion of the Universe down. But it is now known that the Universe is expanding faster and faster (apparently it tends towards an exponential growth), so there must be something else, that is pushing the Universe apart, more strongly than gravity can it together. This "something" is called "dark energy".
What is the most destrucive fore in the universe?
Entropy - it wears everything down, ultimately converting it to long wavelength heat radiation.
What damages do thunderstorms do?
it causes trees to fall down houses lights and tv goes out everything goes apart

What is a force that pulls material down a slope?
Gravity Also, Erosion and Weathering help out the process as well.
Can matter be taking apart?
Yes. Physically, most things in the universe can be physically broken apart with enough force. Chemically, most substances can be broken down into simpler elements. Atomically, the nuclei of atoms can be split into smaller atoms of different elements while releasing enormous amounts of energy.
What damage do thunderstorms cause?
They could damage your home, vehicles,propertie and much more
