Star trails above an astronomical observatory as scientists revisit the Big Crunch theory and the fate of the universe

For almost 30 years, we were told that the universe would expand forever, but now new data from 2025 and 2026 is bringing the Big Crunch theory back to the table, which predicts that everything that exists could end up crushed in a great cosmic implosion
