In addition to origin theories like the Big Bang or Steady State Theory, astrophysicists have also studied the “ultimate fate” of our vast cosmos, which can be summarized into 3 easy-to-understand core concepts:
-
Big Freeze – The universe turns freezing cold, with temperatures dropping until everything comes to a standstill.
-
Big Rip – The universe expands so violently that planets, stars, and even atoms are torn apart.
-
Big Crunch – Gravity pulls the universe back together, causing it to collapse into a single point.
