Our universe is heading for gravitational collapse known as the ‘Big Crunch’ as dark matter is ‘rapidly changing’: study

We could go out with a crunch, and not a bang.

Contrary to popular belief, our universe may not be constantly expanding after all. A groundbreaking study by South Korean researchers suggests that dark energy may be causing the cosmos to contract — and that it could ultimately lead to a terrifying phenomenon known as the “Big Crunch.”

“The fate of the universe will change,” lead researcher Professor Young Wook Lee of Yonsei University in Seoul, dramatically told the BBC.

In layperson’s terms, the universe could be running out of gas, eventually leading to a gravitational collapse in which all the galaxies get compacted together.

The alarming study, published in the journal Monthly Notices Of the Royal Astronomical Society, cast doubts on age-old theories surrounding the fate of the Universe.

Then wouldn't we be observing Purple-shift instead of Red-shift?
