How will it all end, /sci/?

So far we have heat death/the Big Freeze, the Big Rip, the Big Bounce, and a couple others.

the universe is eternal.

It will die when you die.

>>8052663
well it could instantaneously disappear as far as we know.

Depends on the curvature of the universe and what exactly dark matter is. Look up the Friedman equations and read up on them that should tell you everything you want to know.

The current vacuum is a false vacuum, and at some point some region of space will quantum tunnel into a lower vacuum which will then propagate out at the speed of light, fundamentally altering all of physics as all current particles instantly decay into particles that have never existed before.

Anyone who tells you they have the definitive answer have drank the populist's koolaid. Simply too many unknowns still out there.

The best we can hope for is a big crunch.

ok op first of all you are a faggot

and second anything that comes from NASA is bullshit. Space does not exist.

Expands. Contracts. Expands again?

this one freaks me out the most. but fortunately there's not enough definitive proof that we are in a false vacuum. r-right?

We would never be able to know, and we can never rule it out. The instant it happens, we're gone. It is a perpetual uncertainty that we can never test. Even if we tested it by trying to create a lower vacuum state, as soon as it is created, it would unstoppably propagate out at the speed of light disintegrating everything.

Go on..

>the Big Rip
is the correct answer

As in the atoms will split
>>
Maybe in the future, im talking millennia, we'll have technology that will circumvent all of these and we'll live on forever. Is there any reason to doubt that this could happen at some point?
>>
>>8052663
With a bang.


Oh wait.
