• Big Bang Theory
• Fate of the Universe

  • Open Universe Theory
  • Closed Universe Theory
• Universe

  All existing matter and space considered as a whole; the cosmos. Believed to be at least 10 billion light years in diameter and contains a vast number of galaxies. It has been expanding since its creation in the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago

• According to the Big Crunch theory, the universe will one day stop expanding. Then, as gravity pulls on the matter, the universe will begin to contract, falling inward until it has collapsed back into a super-hot, super-dense singularity. It is compared to a giant soufflé that starts small, expands, and eventually cools and collapses
• Open Universe Theory
• Big Bang Theory

  Matter and energy were compressed and condensed in a hot tiny dense mass. Due to random fluctuations, this tiny dense and compact point exploded tremendously. Energy and matter divided and became distinct from each other. Dust and portion of the condensed matter and energy started to spread out, coagulated, and formed different objects and heavenly bodies. Stars, solar systems, and galaxies were formed. This is the most popular theory of the origin of the universe
