Will the universe one day collapse on itself or will it keep expanding forever?

I don't know.

Bet you a pint it collapses.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

this is the way the world ends
not with a bang, but with a whimper...

Not that it matters, as we'll all have attained eternal salvation! Gale?

My cosmological news source (the BBC World Service, some time in the middle of the night) recently informed me that there was an as unyet untheorised form of negative gravity that came into effect as objects moved further apart, therefore the universe will accelerate exponentially forever.

I too have heard that th e universe will just keep expanding and on e day entropy will be at maximum and all space will be cold and dead.

The universe expands and contracts. What exists beyond the universe?

I thought this thread was about ice cream novelities.

― Samantha, Wednesday, 5 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe at the end of the universe...ice cream novelties roam free. Cool!

It will reach an asymtope at the big freeze cause Im feeling optmistic at the moment.

Frankly , I'm starting to believe the iniverse is infinite in every way and we only mistakenly think there are any finite anythings.
