Dark Energy, Cosmology part 2

The video explores the expansion of the universe, starting with the Big Bang theory and the role of gravity in galaxy movement. It highlights the surprising discovery of the universe's accelerating expansion due to dark energy, a mysterious force that makes up most of the universe. The video discusses the geometry of the universe and its implications for the universe's fate, explaining that despite the expansion, our observable universe is shrinking. The concept of the cosmic horizon is introduced, emphasizing the need to study the universe while we can.

Explain the significance of the term 'singularity' in the context of the universe's expansion.
