Say Goodbye to Eternal Expansion? New Theory Says the Universe Will Collapse

Say Goodbye to Eternal Expansion? New Theory Says the Universe Will Collapse

Is the universe slowing down? A new theoretical model based on data from DES and DESI suggests that dark energy—the mysterious force behind cosmic expansion—might not be constant after all. Instead, it may be weakening over time. If true, this could signal the return of the Big Crunch: a scenario where the universe stops expanding in about 7 billion years, then begins collapsing, ending all of space and matter in roughly 33.3 billion years.
