: This was true some years ago, but since that scietists have learned that the
: universe will probably never stop expanding, infact the expansion is
: actually accelerating all the time because of this mysterious black
: matter.

black matter has nothing to do with this.

its not even matter, its a definition.

black matter is nothing more then all the matter in the universe that we cant detect. (its actualy packing styrofoam)

what we a concerned about is Black energy, wich is this wierd antigravity thing that is soo weak (compared to real gravity) that its effects are only detected between galaxies

but even more freaky we dont know how strong it realy is, because we dont know how strong real gravity is (we dont even know what is gravity).

now the real problem is that its a form of energy and like every other form of energy, lady entropy is slowly strangling it to death (plz dont hurt my analogy:)

we dont know for how long DE(=dark energy) will last, suffice to say its been running since the dawn of time (litteraly).

now the realy interesting bit is thsat when/if DE dies out we will get to see the real strenght of gravity, and just how strong is that?

we dont know because we dont know how strong DE is, we dont know how strong DE is because we dont know how strong true gravity is (so wich came first the chicken or the egg?)

anything farther then that is 100%pure speculation (what was above was speculations marred by facts and studies)

so essentialy we dont know what will happen were just asking more questions now then before.

(above post was created with the help of my physics teacher)
