You want to know what the scariest thing about the universe is? It’s not blackholes, as the nearest black hole is too far away to ever have any impact on you. It’s not the sun exploding, because that’s only going to affect a very small area. It’s the expansion of the universe. The universe is expanding, and it’s expanding quicker. Every second the expansion of the universe gets faster.
But what is the expansion?
It’s not like spilling a cup of water on a table, where the water is rushing out and filling the space. The expansion of the universe is the space between everything increasing. The universe isn’t expanding into anything, the space between it is just getting larger. What this means is that the space between every atom, every nucleon, every quark in your body is increasing. But luckily the forces are strong enough to hold you together. You have nothing to worry about. But the expansion is accelerating. Eventually the expansion will be so fast that the omly things that can keep together are solar systems, everything else is too far away, the gravity is too weak. Eventually the expansion will be so fast that the light from the galaxies and solar systems won’t reach us. The night sky will be pitch black save for only the moon. But the expansion won’t stop there. Eventually even the sun and moon will hurtle away from us. Eventually even the earth will fly away from you. The space inbetween your particles will increase so quickly that you are ripped apart from the inside. Every particle in your body being ripped at light speed away from each other. Eventually every particle will be its own universe. Surrounded by nothing. Essentially, it is the only thing that exists. Maybe that’s how our universe started. Our universe may be a small remnant of someone, ripped apart by space itself. Maybe every single quark in you will go on to become its own universe, only to share the cruel fate of being ripped apart, atom by atom.
Supernovae are nothing. Black holes are meaningless. But the cold expansion of space is unfeeling, and it will tear apart everything. The most dangerous thing is reality itself.
