When will the universe collapse inwards? Will history start all over again?

The universe it getting bigger, expanding. Eventually it will fall inwards, like a star going supernova.

Do you thin this will happen soon?

Will history start all over again?

Not necesarrilly. There's also the possibility of "Heat Death" and infinite expansion.

The Universe could explode like a baloon. we expand until we pop. Causing another big bang and creates a new universe!!!

The universe isn't like a balloon, It won't "Pop".

It will either collapse, or expand infinitly.

EDIT: There's actualy the possibility of big rip, which is sort of like popping.

There is also the possibility that Scientists are wrong, which most likely they are, the world is flat, we are the centre of the universe etc etc...

Ofcourse, there is the possibility that there is a God...

or the possibility that the universe isn't expanding at all, or maybe it will just stop...and that will be that...

Oh, and this isn't a conspiracy.

Dark energy suggests the universe will not only expand forever, but expand at an accelerating rate. When the universe is a trillion trillion times its current age, everything will be gone: galaxies, planets, life, even the atoms and subatomic particles. All that will remain, for the stretch of eternity, will be faint quantum fields, rippling like ghosts across an unimaginable cosmic emptiness.

I personaly believe that the expansion of the Universe is due to the Big Bang, because in void there's no friction so the "shrapnel" from an explosion as big as the Big Bang would still be hurdling through space, and the "shrapnel" has formed into galaxies and planets and lifeforms. Due to gravity the universe will eventually stop and then start to implode , then all matter will concentrate into one point and then there will be a new Big Bang. In fact, who knows how many times this cycle has happened?
This is my own conclusion about the universe and I'm not saying it's right and not forcing it on anyone.

scientists no nothing on the matter. its just speculation

There are three fates for the universe that are possible.

Big Rip
Big Crunch
Heat Death

No other fates are possible in the expanding universe model.

There are some philosophies that say the life you are living has happened many times, and that when the time comes, you'll live it all over again.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and improbable.

There is another which states that this has already happened.

i dont see why not.

Everything gets wipped clean and everything starts over

Kinda like a circle...............Thoughs circles are just everywhere.....

I suppose that if my theory is true and the universe has been in a cicle of death and rebirth since time began, then it is possible that one of the previous universes could have went exactly the way this one is going, and thus history is indeed repeating. Considering that there have been an infinite universes before us it has to hapen at one time or another for history to repeat itself.

Cheese!

I love threads like this, always gets me thinking. I love it! 🙂 My brain is coming back to me and my insane thoughts too. Thank you all.

btw what is big rip and heat death?

Perhaps the universe is in a little glass ball like in "men in black" but who knows? 🙄

it will be thousands of years before we truely understand the universe

I haven't seen my brain in 4 years, it writes from time to time to tell me he's ok in the Bahamas or Everest or something, I just found out he has been giving my head out for rent...
