Could the universe end with a ‘Big Crunch’? Scientists now suggest that the mysterious force holding the universe together—known as dark energy—may be weakening, causing the cosmos to potentially collapse in on itself.
This chilling theory proposes that if dark energy continues to evolve, it could eventually allow gravity to overpower the force pushing the universe apart, leading to a catastrophic Big Crunch. In this scenario, all matter would be compressed into a dense, fiery state, destroying everything in the universe.
A groundbreaking study, based on the largest-ever map of the universe, suggests that dark energy is not constant as previously believed, but may be changing over time. Researchers say that this could radically alter our understanding of cosmology and the future of the universe.
