    At the end of the Big Rip all you are left with are quarks.
    Quarks cannot be pulled apart, and when you do try to pull them apart, the energy of the force binding them converts into a brand new quark which means as Spacetime continues to stretch and grow you will eventually be left with a quark foam permeating the entire, now much much larger, universe.
    These quarks would be everywhere throughout the entire universe and would then look like a new big bang and would suddenly slow the expansion of space to the same pace it was at the beginning of our cycle and the process would being anew with each quark acting a seed crystal upon which an entirely new and ever expanding universe is formed.

    The interesting part of the big rip is that this is where the strong nuclear force plays a huge role. A fundamental property of quarks is color confinement, where quarks are never alone. If you try to pull quarks apart, you put so much energy into the gluon field that it generates new quark pairs to pair up with the two quarks you pulled apart. This has been observed.
    So as the universe rapidly expands in the far future, it will try to pull apart all quark pairs in the universe, causing new pairs of quarks to be generated, causing the universe to try to pull those part, and the chain reaction repeats until we essentially end up with a new big bang.
    It's essentially a big bang in reverse of the big crunch and begins a cyclic universe, just in the forward direction rather than backwards.

      There's alternate theories for both dark matter and dark energy. The existence of dark energy could be just an illusion, the accelerated expansion of the Universe might be caused by some yet unknown modifications of general relativity, a sort of 'dark gravity'. And as one of many scientists who have become somewhat skeptical of dark matter, CERN physicist Dragan Slavkov Hajdukovic has proposed that the illusion of dark matter may be caused by the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum

    As a thought experiment, let's say the universe is but a single living cell in a huge living body that extends endlessly from our perspective beyond the boundary of our cell... It's true that living cells "die" but the overall living creature never ceases being alive and growing and new cells replace the ones that left... The whole thing, our entire universe (that which came out of the big bang) could be like the individual "human cells" and would probably have consciousness...

    Yeah. First thing to absolutely remember is “You don’t know what you don’t know.” That sort of limits all thinking on a subject that is so far away since that time remaining allows for all manner of new information to come to light that can confirm one idea or another or most likely prove a new option that we don’t even have the capabilities to imagine at this time with our limited thinking.
    So I’m a cook right? Well the priests and church “Just knew” without a shadow of a doubt that the earth as God’s creation that housed humans was the centre of everything with everything revolving around us both literally and figuratively. They could not have been more wrong. A scientist proved that and was a Christian. So being the nice priests they were they jailed the scientist to shut him the fuck up. Well priests being shit at most things even at bein* jailers allowed a copy of his work to be released and then it was printed and the scientist got to see a copy before he died, in jail.
    The priests thought what they knew was 100% correct. But they didn’t know what they didn’t know. So now when you think that you’re so smart and know everything, just remember that today isn’t that day that we have decided that we know everything. Also you aren’t the smartest person in the world because watching this video makes you just plain old average, like almost everyone else in the world. That’s what average is.
    Also we don’t know what dark energy is and have a somewhat vague idea of what it does because it does what we say it does. What’s dark matter? Is it black? Nope nope nope. All ‘dark’ matter is is a type of baryonic matter THAT WE CANT DETECT with our current tech. We know both are there because if they weren’t then Lambda CDM universe model won’t work. And we KNOW that is THE defining model of the universe. So when it fails we add ‘stuff’ dark matter and energy in to make the model fit what we see. Are we refining the model based on observations? Or are we forcing the universe to fit the model? Oh and there are other models out there by the way that will work. The next in the pile is MOND it changes gravity to fit what we see.
    So now we are freely admitting that we don’t even know how what we see happening fits our mathematical models so we know that they have to be changed or another model selected. So how can we predict many many billions of years into the future when we know for absolute sure our model that we use for those predictions is broken and we freely admit that.
    Also the main reason by today’s understanding is that gravity will play the lead role in the demise on the universe. Pulls hard and we crunch, if it’s soft we fly out forever expanding till all energy is so spread out we just freeze at absolute zero.
    So gravity we know about that it’s easy… right? Nope not at all. There was no apple and Newton with Newtonian gravity works to a point. That point is basically trying to describe the planetary orbit of mercury. Oops new gravity needed. So thanks Einstein for Relitivity. That Realitivity gravity works brilliant. Oops not so much. Newtonian gravity works and only works on the small, while Einstein’s relativity only works on the big.
    There is a problem since gravity the attraction of baryonic matter to baryonic matter. Baryonic matter is what we can see and touch but does not make up all the matter we know of or stuff we know of. Light photons aren’t baryonic. A key indicator is “How many can I fit in that space?” Get 4 golf balls in a box that’s just big enough for them. Now try and fit in another 16 of them. They don’t fit because the box is just big enough for 4 balls. Get a torch and shine it on a spot and the beam makes a circle mostly. Now get 16 more torches and shine them on the same spot. Do they fit or do they just pile up higher and high the more you add? Baryonic vs non baryonic. But gravity affects photons as well. And they travel and have traveled 12 billion light years to us ONLY BECAUSE of gravitational lensing and that since light photons have no mass so they can go the speed of light should not be affected by gravity (Newtonian gravity) but the light photon beams are affected because we can see it happening and we tested it many times during eclipses of out sun. But Einstein’s Realativity gravity with curved space time and not mass works brilliantly.
    So is gravity a mass mass thing or a curved space time thing? It’s both right now because nothing would work otherwise. So we have a duck that’s both a horse and also Jupiter depending on what we need it to be. Truthfully I’d say we don’t actually really know what a duck is yet.
    So until we know definitively what a duck is, all our postulating on mostly gravity influenced problems are just that postulations, educated guesses.
    That is EXACTLY WHY scientists call things ‘theories’ instead of laws because they recognise they may need improvements or to be thrown out when greater understanding and knowledge is attained. You say ‘the law of gravity’ well it doesn’t work and we know it so we/humanity/scientists jumped the gun there by quite a bit even though it works correctly with everything they knew at the time. Oops.

Also if some photons were to escape the crunch then each cycle of the universe would begin with less mass than its previous iteration placing a hard limit to the number of possible cycles.

      Agreed.
      This decrease in the total available matter and energy proves the universe had to have started somewhere, somehow.
      It would be interesting to see scientists try to come up with an explanation for that some time.

    According to my theory (Yes, I know, I know, LOL!), there's no mystery. The accelerating expansion means that more and more energy is being added to the universe, so it is heating up and will one day be so hot that it goes back to the state from whence it came. The spatial expansion means that spatial density is getting thinner, which in turn means that it is letting more and more energy in from the high-energy state "beneath" the fabric of spacetime (zero-point energy, or whatever you want to call it). Eventually, the spatial density is so thin it'll simply collapse, and the universe will be flooded with gamma radiation and undergo a reverse explosion, imploding in a Big Splat of crushing high-energy plasma. The high-energy state before, beneath and after the universe is the ground state of existence, while the cold, spatial, slow-time state of empty space as we know it is the unstable anomaly. And I'm not even kidding. Eventually the cosmos will be reabsorbed by what I call the protean (ever-changing) continuum, which is a roiling ocean of fluctuating high-energy plasma (from which the universe was created when a portion of it reached a certain low-energy threshold; a quark pool).

      Well black holes might be a theoretical plank star rather than a singularity. Basically the entire mass of the object has been squished into the plank length of space which is extremely small (1.616255(18)×10−35 m) creating an object so dense that not even light can escape it's pull. Makes more sense than the place holder singularity which is as you said "We don't know, and it doesn't fit our models". There is also a plank mass (2.176434(24)×10−8 kg) which to my understanding is a limit to how much mass can exist in a single plank length and frankly I'm not smart enough to answer as to whether or not that invalidates or confirms the idea of a plank star being what a black hole actually is. Just thought it was a neat hypothesis as supposed to the basically magical idea of a singularity.

    Probably all of the above since we can only see part of it. For example, if the universe were torus-shaped with an infinitely small hole at the center then as we moved along the surface away from it everything would appear to spread out until heat death followed by a big rip. Once the space containing everything crossed the equator and started moving back toward the center everything would collapse back into the singularity at the center of the torus. If it kept pushing then everything would explode out of the other side as a white hole starting the process again.

  • @randomperson6454
    @randomperson6454 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think that maybe what we think is expansion could actually be more of a current instead.
    Like if the universe "is shaped" like a dohnut then maybe the current of the universe is moving like the smoke in a smoke ring.
    It might look like every thing is moving further away but it's actually just particles (or matter in general on a universal scale) moving from the outer edge of the universe to the inner edge in a cycle.
    Kind of like this (⬇️⬆️)(⬆️⬇️)
    (Imagine the parentheses as the outer and inner edges of the universe if you sliced it in half and the arrows as the flow within it)
