  2. Olbers's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers's_Paradox

    The paradox is that a static, infinitely old universe with an infinite number of stars distributed in an infinitely large space would be bright rather than dark. [1] A view of a square section of four concentric shells. To show this, we divide the universe into a series of concentric shells, 1 light year thick.

  3. Dark energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy

    The density of dark matter in an expanding universe decreases more quickly than dark energy, and eventually the dark energy dominates. Specifically, when the volume of the universe doubles, the density of dark matter is halved, but the density of dark energy is nearly unchanged (it is exactly constant in the case of a cosmological constant).

  4. Dark matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter

    Data indicates the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, the cause of which is usually ascribed to dark energy. [73] Since observations indicate the universe is almost flat, [74] [75] [76] it is expected the total energy density of everything in the universe should sum to 1 (Ω tot ≈ 1).

  5. Heat death of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

    Some large black holes in the universe are predicted to continue to grow up to perhaps 10 14 M ☉ during the collapse of superclusters of galaxies. Even these would evaporate over a timescale of up to 10 106 years. [17] After that time, the universe enters the so-called Dark Era and is expected to consist chiefly of a dilute gas of photons and ...

  6. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    A black hole is a region of spacetime wherein gravity is so strong that no matter or electromagnetic energy (e.g. light) can escape it. [2] Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.

  7. Black hole information paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox

    Since the black hole never evaporates, information about its initial state can remain inside the black hole and the paradox disappears. But there is no accepted mechanism that would allow Hawking radiation to stop while the black hole remains macroscopic. Information is stored in a baby universe that separates from our own universe. [31] [63]

    This theory could explain the mysterious disappearance of information about matter and energy inside a black hole, but it the concept has its flaws. The Universe May Be a Hologram, Meaning Our ...

  9. Black hole cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_cosmology

    A black hole cosmology (also called Schwarzschild cosmology or black hole cosmological model) is a cosmological model in which the observable universe is the interior of a black hole. Such models were originally proposed by theoretical physicist Raj Kumar Pathria, [1] and concurrently by mathematician I. J. Good. [2]
