A cataclysmic quantum fluctuation could wipe out everything at any moment. The fact that we’re still here is revealing hidden ...

Since the discovery of the acceleration, theorists have calculated that the universe will continue to expand faster and ...

Other universe-ending scenarios proposed by researchers include 'Big Freeze' and 'Big Crunch,' Live Science reported. 'Big Crunch' is a scenario, where the universe's expansion is reversed ...

and the "Big Crunch" (something causes the universe to contract back toward the Big Bang). The long freeze isn't a rosy ...

The universe will begin contracting, eventually collapsing under its own gravity and ending in a black hole singularity, a scenario scientists call the Big Crunch. How can any of this be proven?

But modern science has its own theories on the universe's ultimate fate. If not destroyed earlier, Earth will likely be incinerated in 5 billion years when the Sun expands into a red giant ...

attracting everything back together in a 'Big Crunch'. The nature of dark energy is still a complete mystery, but it is thought to cause the Universe to expand faster all the time. Astronomers ...

They found that, as expected, holographic dark energy will continue to expand the universe. But, over time, its influence will slowly peter out and slow acceleration. The universe's expansion rate ...
