In this discussion, Neil deGrasse Tyson, along with co-host Chuck Nice and guest Charles Liu, explores whether a hypothetical Big Rip could tear apart quarks and potentially trigger new universes. They explain that this scenario depends on an unproven form of dark energy (phantom energy), and current evidence suggests it likely won’t happen. The conversation ultimately highlights how little we understand about dark energy and that ~95% of the universe remains unknown.
