THE END OF THE 
UNIVERSE 
Sandra Gil, Elvira Riveiro, Diana Tejera
INDEX 
• Introduction 
• Close Universe: Big Crunch 
• Open Universe 
• Flat Universe 
• Theories of open and flat Universe: Big Freeze 
and Big Rip 
• Other theories: Multiverse, False Vacuum, 
Cosmic Uncertainty.
INTRODUCTION 
• Einstein´s theory of General 
Relativity 
• Density Parameter() 
• Ultimate fate depends on: 
– Shape: Flat, Open, Close 
– Dark energy 
– Equation of State
CLOSED UNIVERSE 
• Geometry: Sphere 
• Triangle > 180º 
• Two forms to end: 
– Lacking dark energy , leads to 
the Big Crunch 
– With dark energy, expansion 
continues forever
BIG CRUNCH 
• Based on Einstein´s theory 
of general relativity 
• Universe´s density > 
Critical density 
• Collapse into Black holes, 
then the Big Crunch 
• Big Bounce, another 
Universe
OPEN UNIVERSE 
• Geometry: Hyperbolic 
• Triangle < 180º 
• Continuous expansion 
• Two endings: 
–Big Rip 
–Big Freeze
FLAT UNIVERSE 
• Ω= 1 
• Triangle = 180º 
• Two forms to end: 
– Without dark energy 
– With dark energy
BIG FREEZE 
1.Stelliferous Era: Today´s era. 
2.Degenerate Era: Death of Stars and Black 
Holes formation. 
3.Black Hole Era: Death of Black Holes 
4.Dark Era: Nothing except for subatomic 
particles
BIG RIP 
• Increase in the density of dark energy 
• Increase in Hubble´s constant 
• Everything disintegrates
OTHER THEORIES: 
MIULTIVERESE 
• Set of 
Universes: 
–Finite 
–Infinite 
• Form together: 
-Time 
-Space 
-Energy 
-Matter
OTHER THEORIES: FALSE VACUUM 
• Vacuum metastability event: 
– Alter everything 
– Affect the foundation of matter, energy and 
spacestime 
• Many-worlds interpretation 
– Decay from a false vacuum to a true vacuum 
– New worlds 
– Some decay, some stay as before
OTHER THEORIES: COSMIC 
UNCERTAINITY 
• Truthness of inflation 
• Lack of proveness 
• The end still unknown
