a higher expansion rate of 74 kilometers per 2nd per 2nd discrepancy still needs to be explained. many physicists believe that these glimpses into the cosmos show that the rate of expansion of the universe is increasing. some us astrophysicists have simulated what would happen if the expansion were to keep accelerating. in this scenario known as the big rip the entire fabric of space time would be torn apart galaxies stars planets even atoms the universe as we know it would cease to exist. theoretically that is fortunately this scenario is very improbable. so keep those questions coming here s how to get in touch on how well. site twitter or
