Big Rip: Universe’s Explosive End?
The ultimate fate of the cosmos remains a subject of ongoing scientific inquiry.
The Big Rip Hypothesis
One proposed scenario, the “Big Rip,” posits a cataclysmic explosion as the universe’s end, potentially occurring after 10100 years. This theory is predicated on the accelerated expansion of the universe, potentially resulting in the tearing of spacetime.
Evidence and Plausibility
Evidence suggests this accelerated expansion commenced approximately seven billion years ago, with an expansion rate coefficient near 70 km/s/Mpc. However, the plausibility of the Big Rip remains uncertain.
Alternative Theories
Alternative hypotheses propose the involvement of supermassive black holes in the universe’s demise, either through the consumption of all matter or through some other, currently unknown mechanism.
Conclusion
This presentation has explored the Big Rip hypothesis, highlighting the latest scientific theories and their associated cosmological scales, but definitive answers regarding the universe’s ultimate fate remain elusive.
