-- Posted by BleedingSteelWings at 4:29 pm on Oct. 14, 2008 So? What do you think? Seriously, now! The Big Rip is a scenario where the universe expands so much that Time-Space rips itself apart somehow. The Big Freeze is where everything is ABSOLUTE ZERO (On the Kelvin Scale which would mean -273 deg. Celsius) after all sources of energy are burned out. The Big Crunch is where the universe reverses it's expansion and everything crumples back to the universal centre and is somehow annihilated. Those are very morbid and I fear them. My favourite is of course The Big Bounce where after it crumples back and focuses, it is not annihilated, it is restarted, thereby causing another Big Bang. For all we know, we could be in the first, the last, or even one of the many in between. I'll leave it up to you! -- Posted by Catzcore at 4:31 pm on Oct. 14, 2008 Continual ftw -- Posted by trikola at 10:12 am on Oct. 25, 2008 whatever happens man, i left a message for whoever is outthere, or our next generations on www.name2space.com -- Posted by Event Horizon at 10:24 am on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from trikola at 1:12 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 whatever happens man, i left a message for whoever is outthere, or our next generations on www.name2space.com well, man, in all of these scenarios, it is the actual fabric of space that will eventually die [and then subsequently re-emerge in some cases]. I doubt your message will survive annihilation... -- Posted by allsmiles at 1:10 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 "Big Freeze." I'm not a fan of the continual theory, due to entropic decay. Not a fan of the "big rip" because I don't believe that matter density particularly plays much of a role in holding the universe together. the Big Crunch... well, dunno. Just doesn't feel right. -- Posted by rufoo at 1:27 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 i like the big freeze. coz then you'd be absolute frozen. then space aliens from afar are going to defrost us .. -- Posted by BleedingSteelWings at 1:35 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 Quote: from rufoo at 5:57 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 i like the big freeze. coz then you'd be absolute frozen.   then space aliens from afar are going to defrost us .. sorry bro. the big freeze means everything is destroyed from decay of matter and Heat Death. go on Wikipedia and look it up everyone.
