The Universe - Cosmic Apocalypse

BIG RIP : Dramatic end of our universe




Today on Far Future Horizons we present the ultimate "End of Days". The Year is Twenty Billion AD and there is something gravely wrong with the Universe. The Universe as we know it is condemned to death. Space, matter and even time will one day cease to exist and there's nothing we can do about it. 



  
Harsh realities are revealed about the future of our Universe; it may collapse and burn or it might be gripped by a galactic ice age. Either of these scenarios are a long way off.
