The 'Big Crunch' theory posits that the universe will eventually implode, reverting to an infinitely dense singularity. New measurements of 'Dark Energy' indicate this scenario is likely. Scientists at Cornell University have calculated a timeline for when this could begin. The theory contrasts with the 'Big Bang,' informing us of the universe's potential future. Observations suggest that the current expansion, driven by Dark Energy, may be slowing down, possibly leading to a future contraction due to an inward force known as the cosmological constant. Humanity appears safe for now, pending other existential threats.
As space itself contracts, the temperatures will soar until everything is destroyed in the 'furnace of this cosmic hell'.
New measurements of 'Dark Energy' suggest the Big Crunch is the most likely outcome for the Universe.
During the Big Crunch, the process will run in reverse - compacting space back into a hot, dense state.
Astronomers are beginning to question whether Dark Energy is weakening, leaving an inward force called the cosmological constant to pull the universe back together.
