Is the universe still expanding outward? Or will it slow, stop and fall in

Is the universe still expanding outward? Or will it slow, stop and fall in upon itself to repeat the cycle?

The Protoplanet Hypothesis A. K. A: “Nebular or Stellar Cloud Theory” Rotates Disc shaped

The Protoplanet Hypothesis A. K. A: “Nebular or Stellar Cloud Theory” Rotates Disc shaped cloud of dust particles

B A Rotating cloud of dust and gas gathers due to gravitational forces. Rotating

B A Rotating cloud of dust and gas gathers due to gravitational forces. Rotating mass contracts and flattens with most of the mass in the center. D C Star ignites to form the sun. Gases blown to outer planets. Planets form by the accretion of stony and iron meteorites as well as ice particles.

“Accretion”

“Accretion”

The sun also accreted, pulling in most of the mass. Increased pressure and temperature

The sun also accreted, pulling in most of the mass. Increased pressure and temperature caused thermonuclear fusion Sun = source of energy for all life on earth.

Ignition of the sun = T. Tauri Wind (blast wave) Lighter elements Denser elements

Ignition of the sun = T. Tauri Wind (blast wave) Lighter elements Denser elements Lighter elements

Oxygen, Silicon, metallic elements Denser Hydrogen, Helium, Methane Less Dense
