As they say, everything that has a beginning has an end.
Well we know the beginning of universe, it began with a big bang.

How is it going to end? Is there any scientific anomaly which might bring the end closer than we think?

I agree w/ answer 1 a bigger bang!

Accourding to recent measurements, distant galaxies are not only NOT slowing down, but they are actually ACCELERATING in their movement away from us.

This, rather obviously, not only makes a stable situation seem unlikely, but puts the idea of a big crunch completely out of the picture.

Instead, the most common idea for the end of the universe is a heat death. Which is to say that everything simply becomes so spread out across an ever-growing span of space that nothing can ever really happen again. All the elements are fused into their most stable space, no free every is available for any purpose. Things just run down and stop.

Another proposed end to things would occur if the acceleration keeps increasing. This is referred to as 'The Big Rip'. If the universe keeps expanding faster and faster, theoretically there is a point at which the fabric of space will simply not be able to endure, and the energy from expansion will destroy everything... even space itself.

Still, if you're willing to allow that the observed acceleration might increase in the future, you also have to allow that it might decrease too. So I suppose that leaves other solutions like a static universe and a 'Big Crunch' still in the picture somewhat. Though I'd say heat death was easily the front-runner right now.

There is no conflict between the big bang theory and the story of Creation. In either case, God is involved as God spoke and His word happened with amazing order. I you want, go back and read Genesis 1&2 to see the order made out of chaos. Read the parts about nature, including animals and plants in relationship to God and man's dominion over nature. Anyway, have fun reading and studying. If there is any scientific anomaly that could happen, that, too will be because God speaks.

Our universe is expanding now, pushed out by the big bang.

Gravity is trying to slow the expansion and pull it all back together.

Which will win? The force from the big bang or gravity? Astronomers have been asking this question for a long time. The answer is stated simply as a number called Omega. They try to measure Omega. If Omega is less than one the universe will expand forever. If it's greater than one the universe will collapse back. If it's exactly one, the universe will expand forever, but the rate of expansion will always be slowing down. After a long while it will almost stop.

Omega is really really hard to measure. It depends on questions like "How much dark matter is there?" The current best value is somewhere around 0.3. But the measurement is so uncertain that could well be one. In fact scientists think that might be the case. They think that if Omega wasn't one we should get an answer like .00006, or 75,000,000. 1/3 is close to one compared to those numbers.

The reason they think that, if it wasn't one, Omega should be far from one, is that the theories of the big bang say that omega was set very early in the bang. And that, unless it was exactly one, it should keep changing over time. They used to be puzzled why it should be anywhere near to one. It was like Omega was balanced on one in a very unlikely way.

Then someone invented a slight modification of the big bang theory called "inflation". One reason people like inflation so much is that it says omega would have been set as exactly one by inflation, where it would stay.

So presently, astronomers think that Omega is exactly one, the universe will expand forever, but that the rate of expansion will always be slowing down.

The experimental value for Omega changes from time to time, and experimental astronomers get all excited, but the value for Omega never gets far enough away from one to be convincing to the people who believe inflation set it to one.

For starters, there was no "Big Bang." It was created by the onlt One that could,that would be God. If you need to believe in the "Big Bang Theory", then God said I want there to be life, and BANG it happened, 6 days later there was an abundace of life.

Life will end, each at it's own time, or when Revolations comes. No one know exactly when. Even if some say they do, the on;y One that truely knows is God, and He's not telling. Why? Because He wants to give you every chance possible to get to know Him.

As fas as scientific anomoly, no. There is no way of telling when God is going to say "Ok time's up." WE can't determine when the world will be ending.

If you desire more insite, may I suggest the Holy Bible, you may not recieve definate answers to the world ending persay, but you will get definate insite on a lot of other things..

There are many theories about the "end" of the universe.

One of the more popular ones at the moment is that the Universe is expanding, and the velocity at which it is expanding is increasing.

Slowly Atoms (including the ones in your body) are getting further and further apart.

As this process continues into infinity, Stars will nolonger be able to have enough density to create nuclear reactions (though this is so many billions of years away that it is likely all stars will either be dead or black holes by than).

Inevitably matter will be so scattered that you will only find 1 hydrogen atom per light year.

The universe is very likely to end cold and empty.

The big band happened, and the universe is expanding because of the heat energy involved in the explosions. So it only stands to reason that once the universe cools off it'll collapse back into itself and create another big bang and a new universe. Most things in life are cyclical, after all. Why not the universe, too?

the universe will implode upon itself and the Big Bang will occur again. The whole Big Bang theory is just a theory. Anyways, we would not survive to know about the end. Especially if we could not get to a new planet within 5 billion years (that's when our sun will die). This is just the scientific explaination for the beginning of the universe. God created the universe.

one million.) how many situations has this 'been' happening? that's a familiar nonsensical question. that's like asking how many situations did the chicken go the line, and in user-friendly terms understanding that it has as quickly as. that's above sensory concept (5) to understand for a fact if the universe is a A) A repeating device, (with numerous repeats, or an limitless type) B) a unique outplay of activities, that occurs yet as quickly as. 2.) comparable actual question there pal. 3.) If A is actual, the universe starts as finite beings % its commencing up. As one (reminiscence, thinking, 6th experience) turns into greater attune to the limitless, the commencing up seems to ensue greater away in time. for occasion a fish, has a reminiscence keep in mind of a few seconds. To the fish, the universe could initiate each few secs. As strategies means to realize length will advance, the previous turns into increasing greater suitable, that's: The farther away the 'actual' commencing up seems to stray. the think approximately all it extremely is that even although (A) may well be actual, to offer up falling into the previous, to offer up dividing down the infinity, our strategies could desire to handle the finite the (B). the two are complementary. in spite of if there continues to be no thank you to place a type on the quantity of loops the universe could have been via. We in simple terms think of it is going to start up, from a factor, and that's how we take care of the limitless. it extremely is something they do no longer teach in technological awareness classification. stable luck on your seek. ~Juefawn.

A. Continuous expansion
B. Big Crunch, it will collapse back to a singularity and start anew with another Big Bang.
The determining factor is the total mass in the universe. As of now, not enough mass has been discovered for the Big Crunch to occur, but that doesn't mean there isn't enough undiscovered mass to make it happen.

Is it not the case that Shiva destroys everything in the end and Brahma creates it again? So perhaps what scientists see as the big bang really was a big bang. Perhaps that is how Brahma chooses to begin the cycle again.
