A group of scientists claim to have evidence supporting the Big Rip theory, explaining how the universe will end – in 22 billion years.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, have discovered a new mathematical formulation that supports the Big Rip theory - that as the universe expands, it will eventually be ripped apart.
The idea of the Big Rip is that eventually even the constituents of matter would start separating from each other. You’d be seeing all the atoms being ripped apart ... it’s fair to say that it’s a dramatic scenario,”
The theory relies on the assumption that the universe continues to expand faster and faster, eventually causing the Big Rip.
..ive always wondered though.. if the general consensus is that the universe is expanding....
..then what is into expanding into?
