The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- According to the standard model of cosmology, the scale factor of the universe is accelerating, and, in the future era of cosmological constant dominance, will increase exponentially.
- But this expansion is similar for every moment of time, and is characterized by an unchanging, small Hubble constant, effectively ignored by any bound material structures.
- By contrast, in the Big Rip scenario the Hubble constant increases to infinity in a finite time.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Big Rip article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
