How Will the Universe End?

Einstein's biggest mistake of his life, Hubble's revolutionary discovery, their understanding that what they thought was pigeon droppings was actually radiation from the big bang... You will watch scientists' adventure about the origin of the universe in this video.
But the story doesn't end there! The future of the universe is just as mysterious as its past. The Big Freeze, the Big Rip, the Big Bounce, the Big Poof, the Vacuum Decay... What are the theories about the possible ends of the universe? How dark is dark energy? How does the Higgs particle affect the fate of the universe?
In this narrative, you will embark on an exciting journey about the universe, and be swept away by many analogies from a soccer ball to breathing, from stars to molecules.
Don't forget to take notes while watching: While trying to solve the beginning of the universe, we may actually be solving its end!

Although the Big Bang is accepted as the theory explaining the formation of the universe, it has its shortcomings. Cosmic Inflation has eliminated these shortcomings to some extent. Understanding the beginning of the universe also helps to understand its end.
Cosmic Inflation occurred in a very short time at the beginning of the universe. Today, the universe is in a slow expansion state. Predicting the fate of this expansion due to the effect of dark energy also helps to predict the end of the universe.
According to the Big Freeze theory, the universe will gradually become a dark and cold place. In the Big Rip, the universe will be torn apart due to dark energy and nothing will be left. The Big Bounce theory predicts a cycle of the universe expanding and collapsing back onto itself. The Big Puff theory argues that everything will end after a single collapse.
The discovery of the Higgs particle has brought to mind the idea that there may be a different law of physics in the universe. According to the Vacuum Decay theory, bubbles that will form as the Higgs field changes can expand at the speed of light and destroy everything.
It is difficult to predict the end of the universe exactly. A clearer idea can be obtained as observations, experiments and new theories develop. Different thought experiments are needed to understand the realities beyond our intuition.
