The end of the universe isn’t just science fiction—it’s a real topic that scientists study using evidence, logic, and imagination. This universe parent Q&A page is here to help you answer the tricky questions your child might ask about what happens to everything in space one day. From galaxies and black holes to the idea of time itself stopping, it’s a chance to explore some of the most fascinating ideas in astronomy together.
You don’t need to be a physicist to help your child learn at home. This universe parent Q&A explains complex theories clearly using everyday language and examples. It’s written to guide you through big topics like the Big Rip, Heat Death, and the possible collapse of the cosmos. You’ll also find questions about dark energy, entropy, and what it all means for the future of space.
We know science at home can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when your child asks something you’ve never thought about before. That’s exactly why this page exists. If you’d like to take things further, there’s also a full lesson plan available—but this Q&A gives you the basics to get started and have meaningful conversations at home.
