Big bang/a critique of What Was the Big Bang?

(Review Paper) Cited in Big bang/a critique of What Was the Big Bang?

Points Made

- Universe is made up of approximately 70% Dark Energy and causes an increased rate of expansion.

Methods

As the universe expanded and its density decreased, the reduced gravitational pull faded and the Dark Energy caused expansion to increase in speed.

Results

The increased rate of expansion will lead the Universe to reach either the Big Crunch, or a Big Freeze. The Big Crunch suggests that once the Universe reaches a certain point of expansion it will retract and collapse upon itself. The Big Freeze suggests that the Universe will cool as it expands.
