Talk:Big Rip

|
From the article:
- "The authors of this hypothesis calculate that the end of time would be approximately 1030 years after the Big Bang, or 1020 years from now."
That puts the Big Bang 1030 - 1020 years in our past, which is 1030 years ago to all intents and purposes -- eh?

Phantom energy
The article should mention that matter with w < -1 is phantom energy as opposed to a cosmological constant or quintessence, and link to phantom energy (I haven't done myself this because there isn't yet a page on phantom energy, and I don't know enough about it to write one) --Jomel 22:47, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Big Rip vs. big rip
I have renamed it back to the capitalized version. 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). -- Curps 20:34, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
"End of time"
Would the Big Rip really be literally (not just metaphorically) the "end of time" in the same way as the Big Crunch? Wouldn't it mean that the universe would still expand eternally, just very fast and without anything interesting?
