# What if gravity becomes really repulsive in the future?

## TL;DR

This paper explores the possibility that gravity could become repulsive in the future due to dark energy, analyzing potential gravitational behaviors and their implications for cosmic evolution.

## Contribution

It introduces a simple phenomenological model showing how gravity might turn repulsive, and reviews the statefinder approach and density contrast evolution in this context.

## Key findings

- Gravity can weaken and become repulsive in the future.
- The gravitational potential may turn negative.
- Dark matter and dark energy density contrasts evolve distinctly.

## Abstract

The current acceleration of the Universe is one of the most puzzling issues in theoretical physics nowadays. We are far from giving an answer on this letter to its true nature. Yet, with the observations we have at hand, we analyse the different patterns that the gravitational potential can show in the future. Surprisingly, gravity not only can get weaker in the near future, it can even become repulsive; or equivalently, the gravitational potential may become negative. We show this remark by using one of the simplest phenomenological model we can imagine for dark energy. We have as well reviewed the statefinder approach of these models. For completeness, we have also showed the behaviour of the density contrast of dark matter and dark energy for these simple (yet illustrative models). Our results are displayed at present and how they evolve in the future.
