Ultimate fate of the universe eventually stops the expansion of the universe, after which it starts to contract until all matter in the universe collapses to a point, a final singularity termed the "Big Crunch", the opposite of the Big Bang. Some new modern theories assume the universe may have a significant amount of dark energy, whose repulsive force may be sufficient to cause the expansion of the universe to continue forever—even if formula_5. If formula_7, the geometry of space is open, i.e., negatively curved like the surface of a saddle. The angles of a triangle sum to less than 180 degrees, and lines that
Hyperbolic triangle scale is most convenient if the lengths are measured in terms of the absolute length (a special unit of length analogous to a relations between distances in spherical geometry). This choice for this length scale makes formulas simpler. In terms of the Poincaré half-plane model absolute length corresponds to the infinitesimal metric formula_1 and in the Poincaré disk model to formula_2. In terms of the (constant and negative) Gaussian curvature of a hyperbolic plane, a unit of absolute length corresponds to a length of In a hyperbolic triangle the sum of the angles "A", "B", "C" (respectively opposite to the
