"New Insights Reveal Timing and Mechanism Behind the Universe's Ultimate Fate"

Recent revelations in cosmology suggest that the universe may end in a crunch due to a potential shift in the nature of dark energy, challenging previous notions of cosmic fate.

• Scientists propose that the cosmological constant may have transitioned from positive to negative, indicating a potential reversal in the expansion of the universe.
• This new theory, which contrasts with the prevailing idea of entropy leading to cosmic oblivion, emphasizes the role of dark energy in shaping the universes ultimate fate.
• The findings, emerging from research in South Korea, could redefine our understanding of galactic evolution and the lifecycle of supernovae within the universe.
