Future state of the Universe
arXiv:astro-ph/0606574 · doi:10.1002/andp.200510193
Abstract
Following the observational evidence for cosmic acceleration which may exclude a possibility for the universe to recollapse to a second singularity, we review alternative scenarios of its future evolution. Although the de Sitter asymptotic state is still an option, some other asymptotic states which allow new types of singularities such as Big-Rip (due to a phantom matter) and sudden future singularities are also admissible and are reviewed in detail. The reality of these singularities which comes from the relation to observational characteristics of the universe expansion are also revealed and widely discussed.
