Ultimate fate of the Universe,computer illustration. The ultimate fate of Universe depends of three things: its overall shape,its total density (content of matter-energy) and the nature of the dark energy,a repulsive force that is accelerating the cosmic expansion and pushes the galaxy clusters apart. Astrophysicists envisage three possible fates for the Universe in the distant future: that it will be ripped apart by the dark energy (Big Rip scenario); that it will collapse in an infinite hot,dense singularity in a reverse of the Big Bang (Big Crunch scenario),or that it will expand forever becoming colder and colder until the temperature reaches absolute zero (0 Kelvin,or minus 273.15 Celsius),a point at which the Cosmos can no longer perform | |
