If the universe were compacted to a singularity would elemental particles survive?
In physical cosmology, the Big Crunch is one possible scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the metric expansion of space eventually reverses and the universe recollapses, ultimately ending as a black hole singularity.
A big crunch is a theoretical event in the life cycle of the universe where the expansion of the universe stops and begins to contract under the influence of gravity, potentially leading to a collapse and end of the universe.
It is currently unknown if elemental particles will survive a big crunch. Some theories suggest that they may be able to withstand the intense gravitational forces, while others propose that they may be destroyed or transformed into different particles.
If elemental particles were to survive a big crunch, they may experience extreme changes in temperature and density. This could potentially alter their properties and interactions with other particles.
There is currently no direct evidence or experiments that support the survival of elemental particles during a big crunch. However, some mathematical and theoretical models have been proposed that suggest the possibility of their survival.
If a big crunch were to occur, the universe would likely reach a highly dense and hot state before potentially collapsing into a singularity. This could potentially lead to the birth of a new universe through a cosmic bounce or a new cycle of expansion and contraction.
