The Big Crunch is a hypothetical end of the current physical universe, which assumes that the expansion of the universe (apparently still accelerating) will eventually cease, and that gravity will draw all matter back to a single location. The potential for some kind of regeneration at that point (another Big Bang) is also speculated.

The existence of dark matter and/or dark energy could have a substantial effect on whether the universe expands to practical infinity (and entropy) or creates some other unknown form.

What are the Reverse effects of the big bang theory?

The Big Crunch hypothesis.


Which theory suggests that for every big bang there is a crunch?

The theory that suggests for every big bang there is a crunch is known as the "Big Crunch" theory. It proposes that the expansion of the universe will eventually stop and reverse, leading to a contraction of the universe back to a singular point, followed by another big bang.


Who discover big crunch theory?

The concept of the Big Crunch theory was primarily developed by physicist George Gamow in the 1940s, building upon the expanding universe theory proposed by Georges Lemaître and Edwin Hubble. It suggests that the universe could eventually stop expanding and collapse back into a hot, dense state, leading to a potential "crunch" where all matter is squeezed into a tiny space.


Will the universe expand forever or end on the big crunch?

Current scientific consensus suggests that the universe will continue to expand indefinitely rather than ending in a Big Crunch. Observations indicate that the expansion is accelerating, likely due to dark energy. While various theories exist about the ultimate fate of the universe, including scenarios like the Big Freeze or heat death, a Big Crunch seems less likely based on current evidence. Thus, it appears the universe is on a path of eternal expansion.


How do cycles affect the universe?

No. Universe A expands from a 'Big Bang' stops expanding, and contracts until there is a 'Big Crunch'. Then there is a new big bang and the beginning of Universe B, a middle, and another big crunch, a big bang with Universe C and so on. At the time of any 'big crunch', all matter and energy from that universe ceases to exist. It cannot manifest itself until after the next 'big bang', and then has no relation to anything in its previous manifestation.

What is the difference between big bang theory and big crunch theory?

The big bang theory is the explosion that started the universe. Where as the big crunch is the theory where the universe will eventually contract and become increasingly clumped and eventaully all mater would collapse into black holes which would then coalesce producing a unified black hole or Big Crunch singularity.


For how long will the Big Crunch process occur?

If "the Big Crunch" refers to the theory that the universe will eventually end in all matter and energy being slowly squeezed back into its position it was before the Big Bang, then your question sort of makes no sense. If it is true, then it will last for as long as it has to until it is in "a crunch." And, in fact, many scientists are throwing away the Big Crunch Theory and instead proposing the universe is expanding and expanding faster as time progresses, and also space will collapse in on itself or something like that.

yes it will happen again after the big crunch then of course, the big munch..... At present there is no evidence that another Big Bang will occur.

How far in the future will the big crunch occur?

Nobody knows.It's not even certain a big crunch will ever occur. At the moment, there just doesn't appear to be enough mass in the Universe to halt the current expansion, let alone slow it down or reverse it.
