No, there are two main options for the future of the universe. It can either stop expanding and begin to contract - resulting in "the big crunch". Or it can continue to expand for ever more - resulting in the big black-out (when other galaxies are so far away and their light so faint that the sky becomes dark. Which option is more likely seems to depend on the amount of dark matter and dark energy and nobody is quite sure how much of those exist.

In any case, all this is academic for humankind. If they have not managed to destroy earth through their callous disregard before then, the sun is expected to become a red giant in around 4 billion years. At that stage its outer layers will contain or reach the earth's orbit. So, by then, the earth will really experience global warming!

In the big bang theory what describes a universe that will stop expanding and begin to contract?

A closed universe with enough matter to generate sufficient gravitational pull may stop expanding and eventually begin to contract, leading to a "big crunch" scenario where everything collapses back into a singularity. This contraction is driven by the gravitational attraction of matter in the universe pulling everything back together.


Will the universe ever begin to contract?

It doesn't seem so. There is evidence that the expansion is accelerating (the Universe is expanding faster than in the past). The reason for this is still somewhat of a mystery; do an Internet search on "dark energy" for more details.


Where does every piece of matter begin in the universe?

The best theory is that all matter was created at the Big Bang


What fundamental forces pulled together hot dense areas of matter in the early Universe to begin the process of star formation?

What is the Big Bang Theory and what does it attempt to explain?

The big Bang Theory explains that the universe started as nothingness and the nothingness expanded somehow and made a big bang.that is how all of the galaxies and worlds were made. x x x xThe light distance galaxies shows that clusters of galaxies are all moving away from each other. The universe is big and getting bigger. space itself is expanding.Imagine filming this expanding universe. If you ran the film backwards. You could see how it all began. the universe once had no size at all. It burst into existence from nothing. It is incredibly hot. This is called big bang theory.:)the big bang theory explains how the universe was createdThe Big Bang is one of the theories on how the Earth was formed.

If gravity dominates the expansion of the universe what would happen to the universe?

If gravity dominated the expansion of the universe, the universe would eventually stop expanding and begin to contract. This would lead to a "Big Crunch" scenario where all matter in the universe collapses back into a hot, dense state.

Why is the mass of the universe important in predicting the future universe?

If there is not sufficient matter in the Universe, eventually, entropy will take over and the Universe will continually expand and cool until there is no possibility of life. If there is enough mass, the Universe will eventually begin to contract on itself, leading to a Big Crunch, from which the cycle my begin again.

Why does the height of space increase?

The universe is at an expansion stage as visible now. Space is increasing faster than the speed of light. This can be explained by the Big Bang Theory because when the big bang occured space was sent flying in all directions at relativistic speeds. It has also been theorized that the universe at one point will stop expanding and begin to diminish.
