So we all know about the big bang, right? The cosmic explosion, creator of our universe. Well, as with everything, there is a beginning and an end(the big rip theory).

This is the big rip theory, the ultimate fate of our universe. It will be a cosmic event that will tear apart galaxies, one by one.

Stars, planets, you, me, everything we know will be eviscerated. Luckily, it’s not going to happen for another 20–30 billion years.

But what if we weren’t so lucky? What if the big rip happened tomorrow? What would happen to our planet? Is this the end of the universe the end of everything we know?

This is ajax and here is what would happen if the big rip happened tomorrow?

In the future, the big rip will literally tear apart the universe and space-time.

This process could take a billion years from start to finish. But the mad scientists said that what if we sped up the clock.

The big rip is now scheduled for tomorrow. Try to get some sleep now you have got a big day ahead of you.

How The Big Rip Theory Will Occur

So how will this go down, exactly? Well, something called dark energy is driving the expansion of the universe. So as the universe expands, so does the dark energy.

During this expansion, dark energy transformed into something called phantom energy.

If this transformation happens, and the phantom energy increases faster than the expansion of the universe, the big rip is set to make its debut.

Think of it like a water balloon, and the water is filling the balloon up too fast. Eventually, the balloon will pop, but in this case, it’s not a balloon, it’s the entire universe.

Big Rip From The Earth

Meanwhile, back on earth, you are going to have a very very interesting day. Imagine that you are looking up at the beautiful night sky and you see a shooting star.

Oh, wait, that not a shooting star, that’s andromeda galaxy. And it’s moving away from us and it’s moving away from us.

That’s weird. So, since you are confused, about what’s happening, you whip out your telescope. And try to get a closer look. You try to look for other galaxies in the local group of galaxies, but they’re gone.

Suddenly, all the stars start moving away from you. It looks like you’re traveling at the speed of light. That’s the milky way galaxy breaking apart.

You see Saturn shooting through the night sky. And oh me, there goes Jupiter. And oh, gosh! It got mars too!

Then what, all you see is blackness. The sky is empty of any stars. There’s just complete darkness. Okay, it can’t get any worse, can it?

Will Our Planet Also Torn Apart In The Big Rip?

Well now the ground is shaking, and you see massive tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, this is because the moon is breaking away from the earth’s gravitational pull.

But before you even have a chance to react, the earth will be snatched away from the sun. and it’s going to get really, really cold.

And for the grand finale, our planet was torn apart and explode. Luckily, you’ll be dead by the time happens. Yeah, you got it right, it’s “luckily”.

If you managed to survive long enough. During the explosion, you would be able to witness your own disintegration. All of your molecules would be getting pulled apart!

As you unravel, all the atoms that make up your body would be swirling around. Disintegrating into electrons, protons, and neutrons.

And then, poof! They’s rip apart as well, leaving nothing behind. Nothing is sacred to the big rip. And as the universe keeps expanding, it will get ripped apart too.

The universe is gone, just gone. Or at least, it’s gone as we know it. We have no idea what would occur after the big rip. That’ totally unknow

So, sorry for the spoilers, but that’s how we close the book on our universe.
