doomsday event

doomsday event
a) An occurrence which causes the end of the universe or which destroys the planet earth; a global cataclysm.

The universe will contract and grow hotter until the doomsday event that astronomers have dubbed "the big crunch."

b) A localized event causing widespread death or destruction within a specific geographical area.

In this subsection we face the question about the possibility of evading the doomsday event in phantom models of dark energy with interaction, which are inspired in scalar-tensor theories of gravity.
