After the universe reaches its expansion limit, gravity will pull it all back togeth

Answer 1

The ideas that describe the big crunch are:

1. The universe goes through infinite cycles of expansion and contraction.
2. After the universe reaches its expansion limit, gravity will pull it all back together.

The big crunch hypothesis suggests that the universe, after expanding, will eventually stop expanding and begin to contract, ultimately collapsing back into a singular state. The other options relate to different concepts about the universe but do not specifically describe the big crunch.
