My good news is the fact that the universe is not yet collapsing backwards and destroying everything that has ever been. I am not a physicist so all I can do is believe the evidence they present. I watched a film last night about the universe and am relaying what I saw and heard. It turns out Einstein's theory of relativity showed that gravity would at some point cause the planets to collapse back toward the original big bang that started our existence. After he did that he did not even believe his own calculations. He could not accept them. Later another physicist met him and told him his calculations were correct and when hearing that Einstein dismissed the man as not knowing of what he spoke. Theoretical physicists have since agreed. Their conclusion is that the universe will at some point collapse when the tipping point is reached. That put them in a panic. They had to find out if that was already happening. The way they did it was by measuring the light spectrum coming from space. It turns out that returning light that comes back has a different microwave wave length. The further it travels changes the color spectrum. If the starlight is blue that means it is closer to earth if it is red that means it is further away. They then determined that the universe is still expanding by the color light spectrum from the furthest stars is red.
Apparently the big bang was caused by the combination of hydrogen and helium being compressed into such a tight implosion that it created an explosion aka the big bang. It turns out 98% of the known universe is hydrogen and helium. The other 2% is all that we know on earth and other planets. Somehow those two elements can combine to create carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, iron etc.
That tipping point Einstein calculated is still very possible. Theoretical physicists believe that the hydrogen and helium energy the stars (all fiery suns) create keeps the universe expanding. There will be at some point that they burn out and then everything will collapse from gravity (which is created by the interaction of planets in orbits around the various suns). The good news is that will not happen for more millions of years.
It turns out that two of the greatest physicists were women in the 20th century and they were dismissed by the male physicists, until their calculations were found to be true. One last thing, right now physicists have determined that dark matter does exist. It may be the biggest thing in the universe. They do not know what it is, what it does, but they believe it is necessary to keep everything together.
