The universe is getting bigger and bigger faster and faster driven by a mysterious repulsive force called dark energy.
It's a thousand trillion trillion trillion times bigger than the number of atoms in the entire universe.
If dark energy were anywhere near this strong, then the universe would have been torn apart, stars and galaxies could not form, and we would not be here.
The hope was that a complete combination of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which is the theory of the universe at grand scales, with quantum mechanics, the theory of the universe at small scales, might provide a solution.
Each one would describe a different universe with different laws of physics.
In most of the multiverse, dark energy is so strong that the universe gets torn apart, or the Higgs field is so weak that no atoms can form.
We live in a Goldilocks universe.
But if, in two or three years' time, when the LHC switches off again for a second long shutdown, we've found nothing but the Higgs boson, then we may be entering a new era in physics: an era where there are weird features of the universe that we cannot explain; an era where we have hints that we live in a multiverse that lies frustratingly forever beyond our reach; an era where we will never be able to answer the question, "Why is there something rather than nothing?"
Our universe gives off the full spectrum of light, too.
To see the universe in its full spectrum, we need to have the right eyes, and that means using special telescopes that can help us see beyond visible light.
And the coolest thing of all, no matter the wavelength or energy, the light that we see out in the distant universe is the same thing as the light that we can experience and study here on Earth.
So, in every atom, there is some small, but non-zero, probability that for a very, very short period of time, one of its electrons is at the other end of the known universe.
The end of the universe is intimately linked to what the universe contains.
Over 100 years ago, Einstein developed the Theory of General Relativity, formed of equations that help us understand the relationship between what a universe is made of and its shape.
It turns out that the universe could be curved like a ball or sphere.
And that shape determines how the universe will live and die.
We now know that the universe is very close to flat.
However, the components of the universe can still affect its eventual fate.
We can predict how the universe will change with time if we measure the amounts or energy densities of the various components in the universe today.
So, what is the universe made of?
The universe contains all the things that we can see, like stars, gas, and planets.
Even though we see them all around us, the total energy density of these components is actually very small, around 5% of the total energy of the universe.
Just under 27% of the rest of the energy density of the universe is made up of what we call dark matter.
We have yet to discover a dark matter particle, but scientists all over the world are searching for this elusive particle or particles and the effects of dark matter on the universe.
The remaining 68% of the energy density of the universe is made up of dark energy, which is even more mysterious than dark matter.
Instead of pulling the universe together, as we would expect gravity to do, the universe appears to be expanding apart at an ever-increasing rate.
So, as the universe expands as it is doing right now, there will be more and more dark energy.
Dark matter and baryonic matter, on the other hand, don't expand with the universe and become more diluted.
Because of this property of the cosmological constant, the future universe will be more and more dominated by dark energy, becoming colder and colder and expanding faster and faster.
Eventually, the universe will run out of gas to form stars, and the stars themselves will run out of fuel and burn out, leaving the universe with only black holes in it.
