One day, the universe will end. But when and how it will happen depends on its curvature. And this paves the way for non-Euclidean geometry! This type of geometry is behind Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. In it, gravity is not a force, but rather a deformation of space-time. In this video, we will talk about what curvature really means, and see how the geometry of the universe determines its fate. Will it all end in a Big Crunch, a Big Chill, or a Big Rip? And what role do dark energy and the cosmological constant play in this? #euclideangeometry #endoftheuniverse #darkenergy #cosmology #relativity Recommended reading The End of All Things: (According to Astrophysics) - by Katie Mack https://amzn.to/3KbpRT3 affiliate links: when you buy, a small percentage is donated to the channel with no price increase for you Become a member and help me continue producing this type of content: https://www.youtube.com/temciencia/join ================================================= Script, presentation and editing: Daniel Nunes My Instagram: / tem.ciencia ================================================= WATCH ALSO: ????
