<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Say for example the universe expands all the way until the atoms begin to get ripped apart by the expansion, would that then happen in one region first? I don't think it would, although differentgalaxy's and clusters of galaxies are different sizes, i don't think their size and structure would play any role at all b/c it is the space in-between them that is causing this effect!!! Posted by <strong>dabiznuss</strong></DIV></p><p>So far as I know I don't see the continuing expansion of the Universe ripping apart atoms. The expansion, if it's even happening at small scales, seems to be counterbalanced byu "gravity". I expect certain parts of the sky to go dark as galaxies in that direction expand past our event horizon. I' m not sure if the stars in our galaxy will be thusly effected though eventually I expect them to go dark as all the fuasable H and He are used up.</p><p>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>We do not have a formula for which the law of conservation of gravity will take place, unless the system is spatially isolated. This will eventually be achieved due to the expansion of the universe. The conservation of energy and mass should decrease greatly, b/c of the negative gravitational potential energy. The total mass & energy of the observable universe is greater when systems of gravitation are farther apart than when they are closer. Yet this still does not provide us with any crucial implications. Yet, with a lower total Mass-energy its rotational motion should increase, and continue to increase.... than there could be a point when the system starts to emit signals at an ever increasing rate possible to the point of 10^-43 sec. obviously at this point it would become a black-hole, but wait.......<u>Since the light it is emitting (the photon's) have no place to go and there would be a decrease in power drawn from the source.</u> So a black hole would not be attained yet something very strange would have to take place...
