Dark energy dominance: Dark energy makes up roughly 68% of the universe, while normal matter like stars and planets makes up only 5%.
A hypothetical form of energy that is proposed to permeate all of space and accelerate the expansion of the universe. This force, discovered in 1998, dictates whether the cosmos will collapse, freeze, or rip apart.
What is the term for the theoretical cycle where a Big Crunch leads to another Big Bang?
What objects are left behind at the very end of the Big Freeze before they evaporate?
In which year did astronomers discover that the expansion of the universe is accelerating?
