For the sake of argument, suppose the universe is going to end in a big rip.

Galactic clusters rip apart, then galaxies, then star clusters, then stars, planets, asteroids, molecules and atoms,nuclei all get ripped apart.

Then the universe stars ripping up protons and neutrons. But in pulling quarks off of one another it only makes more quarks. Pull those quarks off of each other and you get more quarks.

It sounds fantastic, but the only thing happening is the universe is converting Dark energy into matter. These quarks popping into existence on unimaginable and accelerating scale would have gravity and they would attract each other. Eventually the universe might be so dense with quarks that their gravity might be enough to hold the universe together against the force of dark energy.

Then what?
