    The document discusses the fate of the universe based on current theories. It begins by explaining the Big Bang theory, where the universe originated from an extremely hot, dense explosion that sent matter outward and cooled to form galaxies. Currently, the universe is expanding due to this initial explosion. However, everything in the universe exerts gravitational pull that slows this expansion. Whether the universe will continue expanding or eventually contract depends on its total mass density - if density reaches a critical level, gravity would be enough to stop and reverse the expansion. In any case, the theories suggest the universe does not allow for eternal existence.

    -What is the fate of universe? Will the universe continue to expand, or will it eventually contract because of
    gravity?
    Currently the most popular theory of the origin of the Universe is the so called "Big Bang" theory. According to this theory, the
    Universe originated from an extremely hot, dense fireball of matter and radiation which exploded, sending matter outwards. As it
    expanded, it cooled sufficiently for matter to form into galaxies. The presently observed expansion of the universe is considered to
    be due to this initial explosion.

    Everything in the universe exerts a gravitational pull on everything else, and this slows down the universal expansion. The
    ultimate fate of the universe depends on the amount of mass contained within it, that is, the mean density of the universe. There
    is a critical density, which if reached will be sufficient to just stop the expansion of the universe. Whatever the ultimate fate of the
    universe, it is clear that the universe does not allow for the possibility of eternal life.
