“Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what
I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had
to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate. To say that for
destruction ice, is also great, and would suffice”. Just as Robert Frost
imagined two possible fates for the Earth in his poem, cosmologists
envision two possible fates for the universe: endless expansion or the
“Big Crunch”. The universe as we currently know, consists of space, time,
and all matter and energy in it. The interminable expansion of the
universe made much dubiety for us, and scientists are still working for
sufficient proofs to support a hypothesis of an expanding universe. What
is the fate of the universe? Will it continue to expand or will it
eventually shrink because of gravity.
Figuring out of how the universe will end is the test of
astrophysicists around the globe. They're pointing high-tech equipment
toward the sky to open the mystery of our destiny. In one situation,
gravity maneuvers the universe once more into itself like air being let
out an inflated balloon, the universe will return to its original size,
and it's the Big Crunch. At that point, there's a Big Chill. It clarifies
the universe expands until nuclear furnaces that power every one of the
stars burn out, the universe develops cold and dies. As indicated by Dr.
Robert Caldwell, a cosmologist in Dartmouth College, appeared in the
documentary of the destiny of the universe, a moment plausibility is in
reality sort of dismal in light of the fact that the universe will keep
on expanding perpetually, and it will simply develop into an undeniably
cold and desolate spot, as the extension expels our closest neighbors
from us and we simply end-up a solitary confined network of stars and
systems. To see how everything could end, scientists went to how it
started. The secret begins to be illuminated at the Mount Wilson
Observatory sitting above Pasadena, California. In 1929, while glancing
through what was on the planet's biggest telescope, Edwin Hubble makes
an odd disclosure that the universe is expanding. Hubble's revelation
prompted a totally different image of the universe is a dynamic territory
and that it advanced, it changed in time and that is unique in relation
to pictures that individuals had of cosmology. In any case, before
Hubble, researchers said that the universe was static and constant.
Hubble's revelation that the universe is expanding implied it had a
beginning stage, a start, the Big Bang. That division of a moment when
the universe and everything in it detonated into reality from indicate
littler than an atom. It is believed by Gary Hinshaw, an Astrophysicist,
NASA, that one normal confusion about the Big Bang, is that we can
distinguish a point in space where the Big Bang happened yet in
certainties it's increasingly suitable to think about the Big Bang is a
synchronous creation wherever of space which is then proceeding to grow
to the present day.
The fate of the universe is it will continuously expand until later
it will just never stop or eventually the universe will collapse and
comes to its end. Understanding how the universe expands and what will
be the eventual fate of the universe is a significant subject to be
answered and to be proved. As what Stephen Hawking had said “If we do
discover a complete unified theory, it should be in time understandable
in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall
all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take
part in the discussion of why it is that we and the universe exist. If
we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human
reason—for then we would know the mind of God.”
