What is a Gnab Gib?

The Gnab Gib is the ultimate fate of the universe, consisting of a Big Bang in reverse (as does its name).

What in the world of physics is the Gnab Gib’?

(sciences, astronomy, physics) In one theory, the ultimate fate of the universe, consisting of a Big Bang in reverse.

How will the universe end?

Astronomers once thought the universe could collapse in a Big Crunch. Now most agree it will end with a Big Freeze. Trillions of years in the future, long after Earth is destroyed, the universe will drift apart until galaxy and star formation ceases. Slowly, stars will fizzle out, turning night skies black.

What happens if the universe collapses?

Astronomers once thought the universe could collapse in a Big Crunch. Now most agree it will end with a Big Freeze. If the expanding universe could not combat the collective inward pull of gravity, it would die in a Big Crunch, like the Big Bang played in reverse.

Why can’t we see beyond the edge of the observable universe?

Anything outside of that radius of 46 billion light-years is not visible to Earthlings, and it never will be. That’s because the distances between objects in the universe keep getting bigger at a rate that’s faster than the light beams can get to Earth.

Does the universe repeat?

Each time the universe repeats, something different happens. The Big Bang doesn’t explode with the same force. There are two extremes: Sometimes it’s too weak, and the universe implodes again before anything can form.

Does the universe ever end?

The end result is unknown; a simple estimation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity back into how the universe started with the Big Bang, but at these scales unknown quantum effects need to be considered (see Quantum gravity).
