what is the likelihood of the universe collapsing on itself randomly without any warning?

Question

if you consider the universe a living thing, then why couldnt it just burst like a bubble without anyone knowing,

is that how youd like to go out?

so then do we know that the universe is definetly not the equivalent of an atom in a drop of sweat on some giant aliens balls? thats not even a possibility?

Answer 1

OK, such an event would be profoundly unlikely, but not impossible, at least in theory. The 19th-century Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, a pioneer in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. This was pondered even in the 19th century. Boltzmann posed the question of whether the universe could have arisen from a thermal fluctuation.
Basically in a nutshell given an infinite amount of time. A horse could pop into existence in space. albeit probably for a brief instance but it would be a horse. Same with stars. universe etc etc etc. However I wouldn't lose sleep over it. the amounts of time required are mind numbingly HUGE.

Answer 2

The likelihood is less than 14 billion to one.
I don't consider the universe a living thing and I never heard of a living thing bursting like a bubble.

As for your additional comments, we don't know the universe isn't a drop of sweat etc. But from what we can observe, and the theories that fit the observations, it just isn't likely.

Though anything is a possibility.

Answer 3

THE END OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE BIG CRUNCH

As we have stated above, the creation of the universe began with a huge explosion. From this point, the universe has been expanding ever since. Scientists say that when the mass of the universe has reached a sufficient level, this expansion will come to an end because of gravity, causing the universe to collapse in on itself. 3

It is also believed that the contracting universe will end in a fierce heat and contraction known as the "Big Crunch." This would lead to the end of all forms of life as we know them. Renata Kallosh and Andrei Linde, professors of physics from Stanford University, made the following statements on the subject:

The universe may be doomed to collapse and disappear. Everything we see now, and at a much larger distance that we cannot see, will collapse into a point smaller than a proton. Locally, it will be the same as if you were inside a black hole... We have found that some of the best attempts to describe dark energy predict that it will gradually become negative, which will cause the universe to become unstable, then collapse... Physicists have known that dark energy could become negative and the universe could collapse sometime in the very distant future... but now we see that we might be, not in the beginning, but in the middle of the life cycle of our universe. 4

This is how this scientific hypothesis of the Big Crunch is indicated in the Qur'an:

That Day We will fold up heaven like folding up the pages of a book. As We originated the first creation so We will regenerate it. It is a promise binding on Us. That is what We will do. (Qur'an, 21:104)

In another verse, this state of the heavens is described thus:

They do not measure Allah with His true measure. The whole earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising the heavens folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they ascribe! (Qur'an, 39:67)

According to the Big Crunch theory, the universe will begin to collapse slowly and will then increasingly pick up speed. At the end of the process the universe will have infinite density and be infinitely hot and small. This scientific theory runs parallel to the Qur'anic explanation of this particular scientific concept. (Allah knows best)

Answer 4

The Pobabitlity that a Big Bang occured as a spontaneous explosion is most likely the same probability that a spontanelous implosion would occur.
Never the less no one really believes that the Universe once exploded.
Note an explosion is the result of a very fast reaction rate of chemicals in a particular concentration.

Answer 5

the universe is just a name for filled infinite space

the universe is known as everything and anything

it would not collapse because logically if it did...

there would be nothing

and everything at the same time

because nothing could survive it, yet everyone would feel it..

but I believe if it ever did happen that it would be replace by another universe kinda like how a cell can mulitply..

EDIT: you may be right... maybe we're just a sick little dream of a kid whose had a 1 million so on year coma.

Answer 6

after 14 billion years? i'd say pretty darn slim
