The Big Crunch is the only plausible scenario for the end of the universe, because it explains the Big Bang and it's initial conditions - where did all that tightly packed mass come from?
It's logical to assume from a previous universe which collapsed on itself and blew up.
who gives a fuck
if you suck at 5 day forecast, why trust you with a scale that's [math]10^99[/math] larger

That isn't a valid comparison

Big crunch is nonsense.
Dark energy continues to expand space. Eventually space is receding so fast that everything is torn apart, the so-called Big Rip. But this isn't the end of the universe. Later still, space is moving apart so quickly that even virtual particles are torn apart. At this point every region of space is equivalent to a black hole. You might recognize the consequence of this as all these Planck-sized black holes immediately evaporate: it's called "the big bang."
I have been posting the same theory for years. Sooner or later some /sci/entist is going to publish a paper on this theory. I hope it gets them accolades. Good luck friends.

But it's not, de Sitter spacetime is not the same as the Schwarzschild metric.

AND WHERE DID THE MASS THAT FORMED THIS PREVIOUS UNIVERSE COME FROM? CHECKMATE AUTISTS
>>8329179
That wasn't an answer.
>>8329057
at this point we realize our universe was just the inside of a black hole
>>8329187
From a particle creation perspective only the horizon is relevant.
It always existed, Wildberger.
when the universe goes RIP it'll be because it literally ripped
Notice how gravity stretches that grid. The stretched squares are larger, this would account for expansion of the universe. As blackholes grow bigger the universe becomes more and more stretched increasing the perceived amount of space there is. Now what's the maximum stretching that can occur? What's the largest our universe can grow? Eventually something's got to give. Something's got to RIP

Not if outward expansion is dominant over gravitational attraction.
