NASA ‘Big Freeze’ BOMBSHELL: How space agency predicts END to life on Earth

This implies the existence of a form of matter with a strong negative pressure, known as “dark energy”.

Unlike gravity, which works to slow the expansion down, dark energy works to speed the expansion up. 

If dark energy actually plays a significant role in the evolution of the universe, then in all likelihood the universe will continue to expand forever.

NASA has now introduced a third theory, known as the Big Rip, which focuses on the idea of the universe constantly expanding. 

Michelle Thaller, NASA’s Assistant Director of Science, revealed earlier this week how it could lead to the whole universe being ripped apart.
