In a big rip scenario, the scale factor goes to infinity in a finite time. The author is correct on this one. Whether we are in a big rip scenario or not is not entirely settled, even though it's more on the unlikely side and just became a tiny bit more likely, considering the new measurements.
- snarkconjecture 3y agoBig rip scenarios are inconsistent with dark energy having a constant value of w=-1, which is what the author is discussing in that paragraph. The article is wrong.
