	Big Rip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Big Rip is a cosmological hypothesis about the ultimate fate of the Universe.
		However, this implies that the size of the observable universe is continually shrinking; the distance to the edge of the observable universe which is moving away at the speed of light from any point gets ever closer.
		The authors of this hypothesis calculate that the end of the universe as we now know it would be approximately 35 billion years after the Big Bang, or 20 billion years from now.

		Servers using RIP function as routers that know which other routers are adjacent to them, and they share that information with each other so that all routers in the network can create a table of the other routers and their relationship to each other.
		Because the RIP servers share their tables with each other, the administrator does not need to manually update routing information whenever there are changes or additions to any of the subnets.
		RIP 2 is more complex to use, but it gives you advanced capabilities such as peer security, route filtering, and fund transfers into my bank account (just kidding about that last one).

	Talk:Big Rip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By similar reasoning to Big Crunch, Google shows that most references use the capitalized version, because the context is usually referring to a one-time hypothetical future event (the Big Rip) rather than a generic term (a big rip).
		After the big rip, there would be no interactions between various bodies in the universe.
		This is very interesting as even in the case if the universe ends in a big crunch as opposed to a big rip, time ends again as all future points to singularity.

		A RIP server is typically used in an environment with several networks or subnets that need to communicate to each other.
		For example, a company might have three subnets connected with RIP servers, designated as A, B and C. Subnet A sees only its own traffic, plus the packets from subnet B and C that are actually addressed to subnet A systems, rather than all of the traffic combined.
		RIP version 1 has less capability, but it is also easier to configure.

		So in a few billion years we cannot observe other galaxies even with powerful telescopes and that eventually galaxies will be ripped apart all the way down to the subatomic level.
		Then, that will give you time to develop technology that counteracts the Big Rip, if that turns out to be a viable theory.

		A "Big Rip" is the answer according to Robert Caldwell, Marc Kamionkowski and Nevin Weinberg of Dartmouth University, New Hampshire.

		Whether the big rip happens or not depends on the nature of the mysterious dark energy that is pulling the Universe apart.
		They found that as the phantom energy grows, its repulsive force becomes strong enough to rip all bound systems apart, starting with galaxy clusters and rapidly moving down the scale to galaxies, stars, planets and atoms.
		In the most extreme scenario, the big rip will happen 22 billion years from now, with the Milky Way destroyed 60 million years before the end and atoms torn to pieces in the final 10

		The Standard Model of Big Bang cosmology posits ordinary matter and dark matter and dark energy, lots of dark energy, enough to power the expansion of the universe for eons: space-time begetting eternity.
		The specter of the systematic razing of the universe (a tearing asunder dubbed the Big Rip) cannot be ruled out so long as the identity of dark energy remains mysterious.
		The universe is action painting incarnate, a place of hyperkinetic flux, the Big Bang replicated at the stellar and galactic levels, Michelangelo seized by dark energy and turning the Creation into a "messy and wild" masterpiece of "extravagant" Abstraction.

		Galaxies, planets and even atomic nuclei could be destroyed in a monumental "big rip", as the universe expands so quickly it hastens its own end, physicists at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena calculated in March.
		It is possible this phantom energy will grow until its repulsive force becomes so strong that it rips apart all bound systems, starting with galaxy clusters and rapidly moving down the scale to galaxies, stars, planets and atoms.
		So even if any future space traveller found a way to avoid the big rip, they would soon see the visible universe shrinking ever faster around them, until it reached a single point.

	Citebase - On big rip singularities
		In this comment we discuss big rip singularities occurring in typical phantom models by violation of the weak energy condition.
		In contrast, in the second kind of model the equation of state is not defined at the big rip because the pressure bursts at a finite value of the energy density.
		We consider finite-time, future (sudden or Big Rip type) singularities which may occur even when strong energy condition is not violated but equation of state parameter is time-dependent.

	JOLLY DAYS: The Big Rip
		The Big Rip is a new contender — not a crunch or drift to ice and darkness, but an explosive show beginning on the grandest galactic scales and devolving to atomic implosion - right back to the very seed quarks from which we think it all began.
		Recent astronomical measurements, scientists say, cannot rule out the possibility that in a few billion years a mysterious force permeating space-time will be strong enough to blow everything apart, shred rocks, animals, molecules and finally even atoms in a last seemingly mad instant of cosmic self-abnegation.
		The Big Rip is only one of a constellation of doomsday possibilities resulting from the discovery by two teams of astronomers six years ago that a mysterious force called dark energy seems to be wrenching the universe apart.

		Scientists are calling it "The Big Rip", and it's based on theories that the universe has "phantom energy" in it that helps explain why the universe is expanding.
		The last item on Dr. Caldwell's doomsday agenda is the dissolution of atoms, 10-19, a tenth of a billionth of a billionth of a second before the Big Rip ends everything.
		The best part of the story is where the physicists basically admit that yeah, given how incredibly weird phantom energy is, it probably allows for things like antigravity and wormhole-based time machines.

	New Data on 2 Doomsday Ideas, Big Rip vs. Big Crunch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Feb. 20 — A dark unseen energy is steadily pushing the universe apart, just as Einstein predicted, suggesting the universe may have a more peaceful end than recent theories envision, according to striking new measurements of distant exploding stars by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope.
		In a prediction in 1917 that he later called "my greatest blunder," Einstein posited a kind of antigravity force that was pushing galaxies apart with a strength that did not change over billions of years of cosmic history.
		Theorists seeking to explain the mysterious force have suggested that it could, in fact, become stronger or weaker over time — either finally tearing the universe apart in a violent event called "the big rip" or shutting down in the distant future — tens of billions of years from now.

		In this model, which Caldwell claims is consistent with the latest observations of the early universe, the density of dark energy grows as the universe does and constantly increases its repulsive force.
		The end result would be a runaway expansion, or Big Rip, in which the universe would become infinitely large and time would effectively cease at age 35 billion years, according to calculations by Caldwell and Marc Kamionkowski and Nevin N. Weinberg of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
		A few months before the end of time, the dark energy content of the empty space between Earth and the sun would overwhelm the sun's pull, and Earth would float off into space.
