The future of the universe: A Big Crunch or another Big Bang

Will the universe continue to expand and eventually end with the state of nihilism that diffuses dry, cold, and black? Or 'Big Bang' - the extraordinary explosion that formed the universe 14 billion years ago - will end with a 'Big Crunch' crash? The planets, stars and galaxies will all be sucked in and collapse in a super-compact, hot mass? And then . Bùmmmmmmm !!! Another Big Bang, another universe formed, launching countless Suns, Earths, and . friends?

A special three-day symposium discussing particles inside atoms can help find answers to the questions that will last from 16 to 18 August organized by the American Chemical Society. .

Titled 'The Physical - Chemical Faces of the Neutrino Test, ' this conference includes more than twenty reports of Nobel Laureate 's Nobel Laureates Frederick Reines once called ' the smallest real thing people can imagine out.' Neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles inside atoms that form all kinds of matter. They are not charged, have almost no mass, move through ordinary matter without leaving any trace.

Most neutrinos moving through the Earth come from the Sun, and every second millions of millions of solar neutrinos pass through a person. Although these characteristics make neutrinos difficult to detect, discovering and understanding them remains the primary goals of many scientific studies.

'The smallest neutrino particle is observed in all fundamental particles, but they exist so large that their mass accounts for a large proportion of the cosmic mass,' said Dr. Steven Elliott, The physicist at Los Alamos National Research Institute said. 'Currently, neutrinos have more mass than all stars combined.'
