Do you really think the universe will end in 'the big crunch?

Answer 1

Nope. Dark matter is the fundamental key to the big crunch and I don't believe the universe has enough of it for the galaxies to contract to that point. But many experts will agree and disagree so it's really anybodies call. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Current scientific thought is that there is what they call "dark Energy" spread through the Universe. Apparently is is like anti-gravity and pushes everything in the universe apart. Data from astronomers now indicates that as things move apart they accelerate . That means the further away an object is the faster it is moving.
In that case the Universe will continue to expand for ever and the end of the Universe will come when the whole Universe is at the same temperature . This is called ENTROPY.

Answer 3

Some say there are cycles of big bangs and big crunches. A variation is that some energy is lost each time, so this crunch is less forceful that the previous one. Eventually there will not be enough energy and things will be static.

Answer 4

actually, the big crunch theory is waning in popularity. Evidence has arisen which demonstrates that the universe is not only expanding, it is accelerating. Never say never, but few scientists nowadays believe that the universe will stop expanding and begin shrinking.

Answer 5

No, The universe expands and expands, big bang after big bang over and over and over and over.

There have been several big bangs in the past, the universe spreads until it litterally tears its self apart and there is countless isolated portions uneffected by each other, and then BAM another big bang destroys it and or pushes it out futher from the center of the universe.

There are only theories for any of this but some believe there have been billions and billions of Big Bangs dating back hundreds of trillions of years back. and with each big bang the next one is bigger, the first big bang may have been no bigger than a fire cracker.

Answer 6

Just as a thought exercise, imagine we're already heading toward the big crunch. It seems to me that everything would appear to be receding from us as it does now, even in the direction towards the center. As objects get closer to the center they would move faster, therefore apearing to move away from an observer farther away from the center. And we, as well would appear to move away from an observer farther away form the center than we are... Think about it...

Answer 7

"The BIG CRUNCH"while an elegant theory,is now pretty much dismissed.Gravity SHOULD be slowing down the expansion,recently,however,we observe that the rate of expansion is increasing,leading most scientist to believe the universe will eventually die a "cold death"

Answer 8

Well, it could end in the big crunch, or possibly the big rip, or possibly something else we don't know about. And hopefully it will also happen gazillions of years from now.

Answer 9

the whole god prespective has been made up like a saftey blanket to protect every one from the truth there is no god or good there is only science and america/evil


n yeah the big cruch could happen or we could carry on expanding in to infinity but if it hhappend it would take billions of years before anything would be noticable that the world was gunna end

Answer 10

To be honest I'm not too sure...

I know that the whole "circle of time" graph would say that the universe will one day collapse on itself but I think that it'll just keep on going further and further away.
