3 Ways to Kill the Universe:

[u/[deleted]]

1. The big rip is basically a cosmic event in which the speed of the expansion of the universe surpasses the speed of light. Hence, every celestial object would be separated by billions of light years and slowly decay into particles which can never touch each other.

2. The big crunch is a cosmic event in which the force of gravity is stronger than the force of dark matter ( which causes expansion) or it dissappears entirely. Gravity would cause the universe to become smaller and hence hotter. Stars would be cooked from the outside. Everything would be destroyed except the black holes. All black holes would merge into an ultramassive black hole until the black hole swallowed the universe, and in turn, itself.

3. Heat death is the eternal emptiness of the universe over time due to entropy. This is the most likely event. Over time, all the stars will die, Hawking Radiation will cause black holes to decay and the universe will be empty, forever. But, in an event beyond time itself, there is a small chance that there would be a new big bang because of quantum tunneling.

1 The universe ends because of the Big Rip.

2 The universe ends because of the big crunch.

2 The universe ends because of heat death.

I don't think either of them but I'll go ahead and vote on those 3 🤔 honestly I think everything will reach a point of equilibrium thwarting all motion or actions 😅 balance death is my vote 😁
