How Will Our Universe End? Big Crunch Theory

We've all heard about the Big Bang but what do you know about the Big Crunch, what is the Big Crunch? the Big Crunch Theory has its roots in Einstein's theory of general relativity everything in life follows an ebb and flow when one event occurs the reverse is likely to occur after hitting the extreme if the Big Bang causes the expansion of the universe then eventually the opposite will become true once the universe has reached its largest size and as determined by the amount of energy that's present it will begin to be collapsed in on itself and in the end form a massive black hole that contains all matter due to the conditions that are present in the singularity of the size everything will be squashed down to a miniscule size which is why it's called the Big Crunch.

The final Big Crunch becomes an inevitability although there's no friction in space the effect of gravity would be more than enough to counteract the initial outward momentum caused by the Big Bang and all matter what essentially returned to where come from the problem with this though is that observations of the universe have shown that things aren't behaving as simply as we would expect the outer reaches appear to be expanding at a faster rate than those closer to us and galaxies are actually moving further apart from each other scientists don't know why this is happening but they have given a name to this unknown entity dark energy this extra element in the expansion of the universe means that there are two potential outcomes it will either continue to expand forever and objects will be so far apart from each other that everything will freeze were we could still faced a Big Crunch the determining factor is how much dark energy are actually there if there is enough which some scientists believe could be the case then everything will continue to expand if there isn't enough though then the forces of gravity will once more eventually over comment and bring everything back together again some believe the seeming prevalence of dark energy could well signal the beginning of the Big Crunch.

In a report released in 2015 it was suggested that the current increased rates of expansion is the last gasp of the expanding universe and that within tens of billions of years the contraction will begin so how would the Big Crunch happen if we assume that there isn't enough dark energy and that the Big Crunch does take place then it won't be as spectacular as the Big Bang was the universe will begin to contract evenly because matter is more or less distributed consistently it would be a slow process for what begin to gradually pick up in speed as galaxies got closer to one another and the forces of gravity have more of an effect in about a hundred billion years from now as things reach and climax temperatures would significantly increase in this will result in stars exploding and in vaporizing and all objects will be broken down into their constituent atoms which themselves will begin to break apart.

In the final stages as all matter from the universe compacts into a small space things will become extremely chaotic so much so that some predictions suggest as space-time will become so warped that it would shatter into droplets meaning all concepts of time distance and a direction would become meaningless of course no living organism would have been able to survive to this point in we would have all been doomed a long time before this so with our lack of full understanding of the process taking place in the universe it's impossible to know for sure how everything will end one of the scenario is the Big Crunch which will see every piece of the matter returning to where it originated in and all that will remain to be an unimaginably large black hole what happens at that point really is anyone's guess and it could potentially see the birth of a new universe it's also possible that this has all happened a number of times already and we're alive in just another in a long line of cyclical expansions and contractions again only those of you who's planning to be alive for billions of years will really have to worry about this.
