Future Expansion of the Universe with Constant Dark Energy

Short film

Synopsis

MPEG This animation shows a possible future for the Universe by modeling the Universe as a two dimensional grid of galaxies. If dark energy is constant, consistent with Albert Einstein's suggestion, then the expansion of the Universe should continue accelerating until in a hundred billion years or so, only a tiny fraction of the known galaxies in the Universe will be observable.
