Model for the End of the Universe (1-4) depicts a series of possible ends to everything, based on current scientific thought as filtered through a wiki understanding of cosmos. Reduced to a series of four diagrams the universe loops in on itself, implodes, reaches stasis, or bursts into multiples that spiral off into eternity.

The theories visualised are as follows:

1. Circular motion/Big Crunch

2. Big Freeze/Heat Death

3. Multiverse/False Vacuum

4. Singularity/Big Rip.
