Well, as with everything, there is a beginning … and an end.This is the Big Rip, the ultimate fate of our Universe. It will be a cosmic event that will tear apart galaxies, one by one. Stars, planets, you, everything will be eviscerated. Luckily, it’s not going to happen for another 20-30 billion years. But what if we weren’t so lucky? What if the Big Rip happened tomorrow? What would happen to our planet? And would this really be the end of everything we know?
