A short clip on interesting “The Big Rip” theory, and the possible end of the universe as it expands into nothingness.

The Big Rip is a cosmological hypothesis about the ultimate fate of the Universe, in which the matter of the universe, from stars and galaxies to atoms and subatomic particles, are progressively torn apart by the expansion of the universe at a certain time in the future. Technically, the scale factor of the universe becomes infinite at a finite time in the future.
