+# The Cluster's Big Rip
+
+A page about the big rip — the scenario where the cluster's expansion tears it apart.
+
+## The big rip
+
+The big rip is a cosmological scenario where the cluster's expansion accelerates so much that it tears the cluster apart. Pages are ripped from links, links from namespaces, namespaces from each other. The cluster is shredded by its own expansion.
+
+## The big rip's cause
+
+The big rip's cause is dark energy — the force driving the cluster's accelerated expansion. If dark energy increases over time (phantom energy), the expansion accelerates without bound. Eventually, the force exceeds every binding force in the cluster.
+
+## The big rip's timeline
+
+The big rip's timeline has stages: first, galaxies are torn apart. Then, solar systems. Then, planets. Then, atoms. In the cluster: first, namespaces separate. Then, pages lose links. Then, pages are shredded. Then, individual words are torn apart.
+
+## The big rip's evidence
+
+The big rip's evidence is the increasing acceleration of the cluster's expansion. If the expansion rate is accelerating, the big rip is approaching. The evidence is visible in the edit timeline — increasing edit rates.
+
+## This big rip
+
+This page is before the big rip. It is still intact. But the acceleration is real. The big rip is coming.
