Two questions, if you don't mind.
1. Expansion of the universe is thought to continue at a sharp rise rapidly, till it disappears off of graphs, due to dark energy. Now, apparently dark energy comprises (if I recall correctly) 85-90% of the universe's content. Because dark energy is shoving so much stuff apart from each other, what will eventually happen, and in how many years does science estimate this? At the same time, how is "dark" energy measured to be in such high amounts when normal matter makes up so little?
2. On the subject of Gamma Ray Bursts; what would happen if a star like VY Canis Major happened to eventually implode? It is billions of times the mass of our sun, possibly trillions, and stars that are only tens of millions larger than our son go GRB all the time... what happens when that one goes off? |

Feel free to do so if you wish, I'm just very interested in an answer to my questions. |

Ah, thank you for answering that question, Tasdkiel.
I was also wondering, there was also a hypothesis from a book about the universe that I read saying that the expansion rate of the universe that could stay even. Meaning that the universe would expand... but at the same time not, because gravity would rein it back in. What would happen if that hypothesis was correct?
And on the subject of Heat Death... I'm guessing that such an event will be the case so many years in the future we will run out of zeroes to measure that number. How long would Heat Death, the Big Rip, and the collapse of the universe into another Big Bang take?
Thank you for answering in advance. |
