the end of everything astrophysically speaking by katie mack

In the middle of the carpet is our butchered universe. The cosiest way to read The End of Everything, her fast-paced book about universal death, is as a murder mystery. Mack is brilliant, and my neighbour's six-year-old daughter loves her. If you need a moment to be distracted from everyday life and journey to the deep cosmic future, I highly recommend it Leah Crane, New Scientist What stands out most is Mack's pure enjoyment of physics, and it is contagious. Like an animated discussion with your favourite quirky and brilliant professor. Read moreĪ rollicking tour of the wildest physics. Amid stellar explosions and bouncing universes, Mack shows that even though we puny humans have no chance of changing how it all ends, we can at least begin to understand it. This fascinating, witty story of cosmic escapism examines a beautiful but unfamiliar physics landscape while sharing the excitement a leading astrophysicist feels when thinking about the universe and our place in it.

Our universe could collapse in upon itself, or rip itself apart, or even - in the next five minutes - succumb to an inescapable expanding bubble of doom. Drawing on cutting edge technology and theory, as well as hot-off-the-presses results from the most powerful telescopes and particle colliders, astrophysicist Katie Mack describes how small tweaks to our incomplete understanding of reality can result in starkly different futures. The End of Everything is a unique exploration of the destruction of the cosmos. So too, our Sun will eventually shine its last.

When will it take place? How is it likely to happen? How do scientists know? An acclaimed theoretical astrophysicist explores the end of the Universe.
