Will the universe keep expanding faster and faster for all eternity or is there a limit to how fast the expansion will get?
The expansion rate approaches the one corresponding to the vacuum energy. It is decreasing towards that value as total energy density decreases.PeroK said:In the current model, the expansion is driven by the dark (vacuum) energy. As the universe expands, the vacuum energy becomes ever more dominant and the expansion rate increases without limit.
What @Bandersnatch said.phinds said:Huh? I thought @PeroK had it right. Can you explain your statement please?
