You are correct and I misremembered it. “The Big Freeze” and “Heat Death” are the same thing. Thats when everything expands until there is no more heat.
If someone knows the correct terms for what I am talking about please let me know. Let me explain further.
What I am talking about is the opposite of heat death, which is somehow in my mind at a hot death? Basically, where everything goes back to one singularity instead of expanding forever.
At some point wouldn’t gravity override the expansion and cause a contraction again?
Last I checked, the “Big Crunch” hypothesis got rejected by scientists.
I am no expert, so can’t elaborate any further.
That’s alright, I wasn’t an expert when I asked the question. I was just curious about it.
I am an expert. But not on this topic so I can’t help y’all.
No, the expansion is accelerating.
If it was gravity causing it, it wouldn’t be unusual.
If the gravity is behaving as it is currently understood by the scientific community, it would indeed be unusual.
Heres a great source
It explains why the universe will have a cold death instead of a heat death.
Right now the universe is expanding and its expanding faster today than yesterday. Things could change, but current math points to a cold death
I always interpreted “heat death” as “the death of heat” instead of “a hot death”

Big crunch is what I’ve heard it called but I don’t know if that’s what you’re thinking of. Googling that might give you a start though.
