Physicists Map a Possible End: The Universe’s Reverse Big Bang in 33.3 Billion Years
Intro: A Possible Final Chapter for the Cosmos Physicists have outlined a provocative scenario in which the Universe could eventually stop expanding and reverse, contracting toward a final Big Crunch. The model, which blends evolving dark energy with a light axion field, estimates a lifespan of about 33.3 billion years for the cosmos. With the…

Measuring the Unruh Effect: Bridging Realism and Quantum Theory
Introduction to the Unruh Effect The Unruh effect is a fascinating phenomenon emerging from the intersection of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Proposed by physicist William Unruh in 1976, the effect suggests that an observer experiencing acceleration will detect thermal radiation in a vacuum, while an inertial observer will perceive the vacuum as devoid of…
