Points Made
[edit | edit source]- Universe is made up of approximately 70% Dark Energy and causes an increased rate of expansion.
Methods
[edit | edit source]As the universe expanded and its density decreased, the reduced gravitational pull faded and the Dark Energy caused expansion to increase in speed.
Results
[edit | edit source]The increased rate of expansion will lead the Universe to reach either the Big Crunch, or a Big Freeze. The Big Crunch suggests that once the Universe reaches a certain point of expansion it will retract and collapse upon itself. The Big Freeze suggests that the Universe will cool as it expands.
