Description
From the cohost of the podcast The Universe with John Green and one of the most dynamic stars in astrophysics, an “engrossing, elegant” (The New York Times) look at five ways the universe could end, and the mind-blowing lessons each scenario reveals about the most important concepts in cosmology.
We know the universe had a beginning. With the Big Bang, it expanded from a state of unimaginable density to an all-encompassing cosmic fireball to a simmering fluid of matter and energy, laying down the seeds for everything from black holes to one rocky planet orbiting a star near the edge of a spiral galaxy that happened to develop life as we know it. But what happens to the universe at the end of the story? And what does it mean for us now?
Dr. Katie Mack has been contemplating these questions since she was a young student, when her astronomy professor informed her the universe could end at any moment, in an instant. This revelation set her on the path toward theoretical astrophysics. Now, with lively wit and humor, she takes us on a mind-bending tour through five of the cosmos’s possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, the Big Rip, Vacuum Decay (the one that could happen at any moment!), and the Bounce. Guiding us through cutting-edge science and major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory, and much more, The End of Everything is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.

3,5* Wie endet das Universum? Auf witzige und leicht verständliche Art erklärt .. am Ende wird es sehr theoretisch und schweift somit vom Ausgangspunkt des Buches - in meinen Augen - ab. Aber ich bin Laie und mir hätten nur die tatsächlichen Arten gereicht. Die Fußnoten haben mir echt gut gefallen !
Komplizierte Dinge "einfach" erklärt mit viel Humor :)
Ich habe beim lesen dieses Buches erstaunlich oft gelacht, dafür dass es um die möglichen Enden unseres Universums geht, und habe gleichzeitig unglaublich viele spannende Dinge gelernt oder besser verstanden als vorher. Dieses Buch ist was für jeden der sich für Astrophysik Interessiert und die Zusammenhänge vom großen Ganzen und ganz Kleinem besser verstehen möchte. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen 😃
