  • Our universe started with the Big Bang, but how will it end? Explore cosmologists’ three possible scenarios: the Big Crunch, the Big Freeze and the Big Rip.
    --
    We know about our universe’s past: the Big Bang theory predicts that all matter, time and space began about 14 billion years ago. And we know about the present: scientists’ observations of galaxies tell us that the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate. But what about the future? Do we know how our universe is going to end? Venus Keus explores cosmologists’ three possible scenarios.

      Of all the scenarios, it is the one my intuition believes in the most. Probably because it involves the universe returning to its expanding state that it is now, meaning life can die and reapear again ( So I want to believe it). But, all the cycles in biogeochemistry ( planète igloo, planète-serre; trad. : ice age and glass house age) ( carbon cycle, trophique cycle...) make me see a patern that I instinctively generalise the circle cycle to the life of the Universe itself. I believed that when I was younger and I still do after my astrophysics class. I think intuition plays a big role even in science discoveries ( ex : the constant of gravitation by Einstein wish he thought was his biggest error was actually right, but it was not explained by the context he first believed. His brain knew something but he did'nt have the ability to explain it, I think. thats why I think that AI machine learning is going to play a massive rôle in explaining things we intuitivly know but can't explain, because there is too much information involved.

      @@fobburgerson9561 Honestly big bounce/crunch makes the most sense because the universe is expanding faster, so one day it will be so fast that it rips pairs of quarks apart, but quarks can't be by themselves so they kinda "consume" dark energy and turn it into another quark which than increases gravity and after a certain point gravity would win, once dark energy's force is less than gravity, the universe start's collapsing in on itself.

Things point to a definite end of the universe but then that wouldn't go along with the beginning. It would completely disprove the big bang because if the universe ends in a empty state then there would have been no way a singularity would have formed.

    I've got chills while watching this. Back when I was in 4th grade, our science teacher accidentally discussed the big freeze. I used to have a really good imagination and I said what if the big bang is just a "reset" button and it was a remnant of a previous universe and that we're just stuck in a never ending loop. So now I know what that theory is called after watching this

    • @kyle4563

      A reset button... the thought that all histories, all memories, all life ceases to exist and everything that were billions and billions of galaxies away brought together to a single point, where until the point cannot hold it any longer and a big bang occurs. I'd like to think that it's a loop but every scenario was different.

    The big crunch/bounce makes the most sense to me. Everything we observe is a cycle. It seems the natural order is to repeat itself. The water cycle, the life cycle, moons cycle planets, planets cycle suns, suns cycle galaxies, etc.... We, as humans, only tend to think of things as a straight line, a beginning and an end, because that's our perspective of life. We are born and we die. Some things end, sure, but the laws of the universe certainly lean more towards cycles than ends.

      @ily22222 Před 2 lety +4

      you're forgetting that the physical laws of our current universe aren't simply applicable onto the ending of it like that.
      this is because we can't exactly know how the rate of cosmic expansions will be or might change in trillions of years, which is the underlying indicator as for which force or energy will be strongest (leading to the 3 theories). this is linked to the shape of the universe, which we have successfully calculated to be a 3d analogue of a flat surface, however this only counts for the observable universe and we don't know whether it curves beyond.
      plus as for the person who mentioned that energy can't be destroyed; it depends on the way our universe will end and what you mean by energy.
      in the case of the big freeze (which is most likely in regards of our knowledge), all energy that is relevant for us (solar/stellar energy) will vanish as everything dies down and expands to the point the universe comes down to the state of thermal equilibrium (second law of thermodynamics). in this so called heat death, energy will be spread uniformly and no further chemical reactions will be possible because they require difference in heat.
      nevertheless we'll never truly know lol.

    There is a 4th option: Atoms are held together in a secondary energy well.

This may be happening now, though we cannot know until it reaches us, in which case we will also not know.

    One argument they use against the Big Crunch is that the universe is accelerating (i.e, the rate of expansion is increasing with time). But what about the rate of acceleration? It could be possible that even though the acceleration is positive, it could still be decreasing overtime. And eventually reach zero, and then start to decelerate.
    Comparing to a spring mass system undergoing Simple Harmonic motion, we can see that when the spring is fully compressed, velocity=0, acc=max (similar to big bang) and at the mean position, velocity=max, acc=0. Between these two stages, the acceleration is still +ve & velocity is still increasing with time. It could be possible that our universe is somewhere in between those two stages.

      A contraction of the universe would mean that the entropy of the universe is decreasing due less possible states that the universe could occupy. This goes against our current understanding of thermodynamics. Time is actually defined by the direction in which entropy increases lol The big freeze or big rip are the most likely

    Amazing. Ted-Ed. This brilliance is such a genius. This got my interest in science and cosmology.

    It's crazy that we even know this about ourselves and the universe. What a Trippy existence this is!

    The big crunch is my favorite. Makes the most sense.

      The big crunch makes commentary on how the universe even ended up in a position to create the big bang. Current theories that follow the big freeze make no comment on existence prior to the big bang, and claim that matter will break down but dark matter won't.

    Excellent video. The Chronoverse is the cosmology of Philochrony. Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive: objective, Imperceptible and measurable.

    I remember in space science last year that my teacher told us it was looking like the big rip was the most likely right now because the speed of the universe is picking up

    Well when you are talking about universe, you never know what's going on happen but if I have to predict based on what we know, I think the correct one is the first one... maybe

    the fact that the big freeze is most likely the one that would happen is kind of terrifying because everything would seem so cold and lonely. The Big Crunch gives a chance for a new chance though.
