What will happen to our universe in the future?

Question

What do you think happen to our universe in the future?

Answer 1

the universe will keep on expanding, there are about six different modules/forms which it may take, for arguments sake lets say it goes, like a sphere (easier to explain - but read hawkings for more info!)

The matter being stretched does not multiply while doing so, as a result when it is stretched to far, theoretically a rip will form when the matter becomes to taut. This will produce one of two actions, either a wormhole (unlikely, but possible) or a black hole effect (more likely) - because this has not happened anywhere that we know of in the universe all of this, is of course, speculation.

Answer 2

The universe will expand forever. Some think all the matter in the universe wll rip apart(The Big Rip). But most think it will expand every thing will keep moving away from each other all the stars will go out and it will be a dark, dark place.

Answer 3

It is expanding and dissipating while the stars are consuming their fuel. The future looks cold and bleak. The better question is: Where did it come from? And will this occur again?

Answer 4

I'll go along with the experts.  Dark matter will keep the Universe expanding until nothing is close enough together for interactions that cause heat and light. This would make it  cold, dark, and uninhabitable.  That seems to be the current favorite theory, not in fire, but in ice.

"How will our universe end? Recent speculation now includes a pervasive growing field of mysterious repulsive phantom energy that rips virtually everything apart. Although the universe started with a Big Bang, analysis of cosmological measurements allows a possibility that it will end with a Big Rip. As soon as few billion years from now, the controversial scenario holds, dark energy will grow to such a magnitude that our own Galaxy will no longer be able to hold itself together. After that, stars, planets, and then even atoms might not be able to withstand the expansive internal force. Previously, speculation on the ultimate fate of the universe centered on either a re-collapsing Big Crunch or a Big Freeze. Although the universe's fate is still a puzzle, piecing it together will likely follow from an increased understanding of the nature of dark matter and dark energy."

"The universe will die. The sun and other stars like it will throw out heat until they have no more energy to burn. The big bang threw everything outwards at a massive rate. As it gets bigger, so the gaps between matter get bigger and are filled with "dark energy". Instead of gravity pulling everything back down to a "big crunch" the dark energy accelerates the expansion process, pushing everything further apart faster and faster. In the end everything will be a cold, sad, blackness as the stars all go out, or are too far apart for us to see anything - but "us" will be long gone. This is currently the bookies' favourite."

Answer 5

I think it will end in heat death.  All energy will be expended.  All potential used up.  Matter may decompose into an incredibly thin mist of quarks, separated by relatively huge amounts of space, to where there will be no interactions.  The temperature will asymptotically approach absolute zero.  Maybe some of the mass will stay as black holes which by then will either evaporate or be singularities.

Proton decay has not been verified, but if this is part of the process, then it would seem that it would take over 10^100 years for this to occur.  That's about 10^90 *times* longer than the current age of the universe.  It's a ridiculously incomprehensible period of time.

I do think it should be kept in mind that dark matter and dark energy have not been verified to the point of abandoning the previous theory.  These notions are more vogue than hard science, in my opinion.  They're new.  That's why they're popular.  They get certain people noticed and published and booked for lectures and documentaries.  The people who believe in dark energy and dark matter will no doubt thumb me.

Answer 6

We don't really know in either case. Since the Big Bang happened a finite time ago (about 14 billion years), and since light travels at a finite speed, there is an unbreakable upper limit to how far away we can see in the universe. Up to the limits of the observable universe, what we observe is consistent with a uniform distribution of matter and energy that could easily extend forever. On the other hand, it might eventually turn into something very different, beyond what we can see; indeed, this might arise naturally as a result of inflation (see the really early universe). Similarly, we can straightforwardly extrapolate the current evolution of our universe, dominated by dark energy, to predict a future in which the universe continues to expand for all time (see the dark universe). However, the dark energy might someday change its character into something different, in which case the universe might very well collapse. So, given how little we currently understand about the nature of dark energy, we can't say anything for sure about the ultimate fate of our universe.

Answer 7

If allowed to run its natural course, the Universe would probably experience a fate like that outlined here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_...

That is a rather depressing fate. However, there is no guarantee that it will happen. With our science and technology advancing at an ever-increasing pace and quickly approaching the point where transhumanism will become possible, we (or some equivalent intelligent civilization, or perhaps both) may be able to alter that fate and breathe new life, so to speak, into the Universe. Alternatively, we may abandon our dying universe and leave to some other one that works better for our purposes. We'll have to wait and see.

Answer 8

55 and over communities EVERYWHERE!

Answer 9

It will continue to evolve.

Answer 10

It's going to DIE out

Answer 11

We all know that the universe was created from one single point, and then expanded. It all began with the big bang.

From there on, the universe expanded, expanded, and it still keeps expanding to this day.

So leaving all the comet impacts and global warming and supernova's and black holes aside, we can argue that the universe will keep expanding until it literaly 'rips apart', and all matter rips apart, and disintegrates, and individual atoms will get ripped, and everything will dissappear.

It will take a h**l of a long time, but that's what will happen.

Another theory is the Big Crunch theory, which is the opposite of the big bang.

At one point, the universe will have enough matter in it, that it stops its expansion, and it's gravitational force is reversed, so that it starts to collapse into its self, to the point at which it began. An unimaginable black hole will be created, from which a new Big Bang can erupt.

So the universe will, in this theory, always exist, but cycle through the different states of expansion and collapsing.

Hope this gives you some food for thought!

Answer 12

ok earth will prob die first 2nd the sun will get rely big and kill earthsremains venus and mercury.3rd marss moon will hit the ground of it.4th jupitor will burn burn burn since it hasso much helium oops.5th the other gas planets will also burn up.6th pluto will finally be alone and not be made fun oflol.7th the sun burns up completely/either it becomes a dwarf or a black hole/or itll just be a big *** bang.thats all folks.humans would of migrated to another planet or of died off
