There are at least three possible ways the universe will "end" (subjective since ending relies on the human concept of time).

1. Big Crunch.  This theory says gravity will eventually slow the expansion of the universe and cause it to collapse on itself, eventually having all matter pressed into one singularity and probably causing another big bang.  Repeat forever.

2. Big Freeze.  The theory says gravity will not stop the expansion of the universe.  Since it keeps expanding forever, eventually all fuel will be used up leading to the heat death of the universe.

3. Big Rip.  This theory uses the "newly" discovered dark matter, which has so much energy the expansion of the universe keeps accelerating.  Eventually even the atoms in your body will rip apart as they accelerate away from each other.  Think of an expanding balloon with an infinite number of dots on it - each dot expands away from all others.

Which theory do you believe in? 
If the calculation of the particle is proved, then about a dozen years from now the universe will disappear at the speed of light. In the future, the universe will be replaced by alternative dimensions.

In the past year, a number of scientists had announced if they have managed to find a subatomic particle that has long been sought. This shows how particles get their mass material. Researchers continue to conduct an analysis of the Higgs Boson particle with a view to ensuring the character of these particles to arrive at the derived particles. So researchers can make sure if they have actually found particles that were once only limited to pure theory.

No, I think it already has a name: multiverse.

I think multiverse refers to a number of universes that occupy the same physical space, that are separated by frequency or something like that.  

It's a moot discussion I guess, because I'm sure the physicists have thought of a name for it already.  Stephen Hawking is pretty well respected.  Smiley

I don't know if you can say there is something outside the universes, to say they occupy the same physical space. Just as this universe didn't expand into anything, even though it is expanding. So, there probably is no physical space outside that which exists inside each universe for us to use that as reference. But I could be wrong.

I was thinking that multiverse referred to all the separate universes, while Vod was looking for a term that encompassed them all as one. Then again maybe it's all the same thing. Perhaps you'd prefer to call it the omniverse or ultraverse?

I'm not sure there is a difference there. At least, I can't see it.

edit: I forgot. My favorite ending is someone turning off the switch on this virtual reality. And the laws of physics of reality might be different than in this simulation, so we can't very well speculate how that universe will end.

I have read somewhere that universe will end by fire from sky. It makes sense when we look at global warming.

That sounds like the way the world could end.  There are hundreds of trillions of worlds in the one universe that we can observe.   Undecided

This was really messing with my head the past couple minutes, the 'maybe it's all the same thing' thing.

and ya, I was thinking of "omniverse" too.

I like playing with the idea that maybe this universe will make love with say, another one and create offspring universi :p

That would be the big "rip" then, or like Stephen Hawking's idea that each universe is like a bubble on a pond.  It's possible two bubbles can intersect and become one larger bubble.  We just need to think of a word larger than "universe" to describe what the pond is.

"Megaverse"?

No, I think it already has a name: multiverse.

I think this term refers to the perception of one universe within the context of multiple universes. I don't think you would call all the different multiverses out there -the- multiverse.

edit: I stand corrected: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse
"The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of infinite or finite possible universes... ."

super- is a Latin prefix meaning over, superverse could work

mega- means a million

yep, I think that's the one. thank you Smiley

does a circle really have an end

So I take it you are a fan of the BIG CRUNCH?  

when you said it I thought I might be,
Big Crunch.  This theory says gravity will eventually slow the expansion of the universe and cause it to collapse on itself, eventually having all matter pressed into one singularity and probably causing another big bang.  Repeat forever.
upon further consideration I can't get behind the theory fully, though the oscillatory nature of thus does call for my support. I just have to wonder, what more could there be?

Space is expanding at an accelerating rate. You've heard of the Hubble telescope? Hubble proved this expansion. Evidence of expansion lead to inflation theory, the big bang. The force driving the expansion, the so called dark matter, is stronger than the gravitational force of all known matter leading to the idea of the big freeze.

Expansion is quantified, it is no longer conjecture. Why though...

So I take it you are a big RIP fan, like me?   Smiley

Isn't it Dark Energy, instead of Dark Matter. Those are different things.

And here are a few more endings:

Big Bounce
Multiverse: no complete end
False vacuum
Cosmic uncertainty

Please go away.  This is not a cult discussion.   Undecided

Just curious. Since we have known for some time that space is expanding, could it be that material is ALL expanding correspondingly. What I am thinking about is that the earth is expanding in size at some basic more-or-less constant rate. And I am not talking about the Neal Adams theory.

The question I have in mind is, could it be this expansion that causes the gravity effect? Perhaps gravity is simply inertia on an expanding planet, making it feel like gravity.

Jesus will return in view of everyone. The dead will rise. Jesus will judge everyone according to the deeds they did in their lifetime. Those who believed in Jesus will go to Heaven - the new heavens and new earth - other reality/other mega-universe. THIS universe will become the lake of fire spoken about in the Revelation, destroying everything, so that God can get His power that He put into it back.

Eventually your kind will be extinct and the world will truly be a better off.

True that - their numbers are shrinking every year.  You can't stop education!   Smiley

LOL ! Thank you. I am honored.   Cheesy
