Neil deGrasse Tyson's Cosmic Insights on the Universe's Fate and Technology's Purpose
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains that the universe may end in a horrifying scenario called "The Big Rip," which would occur if dark energy overcomes the forces holding the universe together, causing it to shred itself apart at the sub-atomic level. However, this is not expected to happen for another 22 billion years. Other possible ways the universe could end include the Heat Death of the Universe and the Big Crunch.
