UM-Bot Posted April 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Physicists at Harvard University have suggested that the universe could end almost as abruptly as it began. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/316955/energy-bubble-could-destroy-the-universe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBelieveWhatIWant Posted April 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2018 So pretty much an infinite loop of repeating Big Bangs. Not Big Crush or Infinite Expansion until it's a cold dead universe but just one after another, repeating Big Bangs. That is if I am understanding it correctly and I wouldn't place any bets on the fact that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarMountainKid Posted April 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2018 If you read the source article, the ultimate fate of the universe is not well understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bison Posted April 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2018 There's a problem with this prediction of universal doom. It's spelled out in the article linked in the original post. It notes that the calculations that would see the universe end in this way, do not take the effects of dark matter into account. As dark matter accounts for about 80 percent of the universe, I wouldn't put too much stock in this prediction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
