There is a theory called the Big Crunch in which the rapid and eternal expansion of the universe reverses and crushes everything within it. This is actually part of a bigger theory which speculates that the universe is on a constant cycle of expanding and contracting.
Fun Fact #145
The myth that carrots improve your eyesight was started by the British during one of the world wars (I don't remember which) because when they started shooting down Nazi planes in the dark, they claimed that their soldiers ate lots of carrots, giving them super sight. (Spoiler alert, it was because they developed radar. Not the carrots) They chose carrots because carrots weren't rationed and were plentiful. They do contain a vitamin (maybe? Not sure if it's a vitamin) that strengthens your cornea, but in a lot of countries, there's no deficiency of this (vitamin?), so it doesn't really do anything for the people in most countries. (I say most because I'm not sure which. It might not even be most. I know that the US is one, though)
