Question
10 which hypothesis about the fate of the universe says that all matter will be torn apart as the dark energy in space keeps accelerating faster and faster? the big crunch the big rip the big bang the big chill skip 9/12 complete
The Big Rip hypothesis posits that as dark - energy causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate indefinitely, the increasing force will eventually overcome all the forces holding matter together, tearing it apart. The Big Crunch is the opposite, where the universe collapses in on itself. The Big Bang is the origin of the universe, not its end - state. The Big Chill (also known as Heat Death) is about the universe reaching maximum entropy, not matter being torn apart.
