NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST, OBSERVER, NEW SCIENTIST, BBC FOCUS, INDEPENDENT AND WASHINGTON POST 'A rollicking tour of the wildest physics. . . Like an animated discussion with your favourite quirky and brilliant professor' Leah Crane, New Scientist'Weird science, explained beautifully' - John ScalziWe know the universe had a beginning. But what happens at the end of the story?With lively wit and wry humour, astrophysicist Katie Mack takes us on a mind-bending tour through each of the cosmos' possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, Vacuum Decay, the Big Rip and the Bounce. Guiding us through major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory and much more, she describes how small tweaks to our incomplete understanding of reality can result in starkly different futures. 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.This captivating story of cosmic escapism examines a mesmerizing yet unfamiliar physics landscape while sharing the excitement a leading astrophysicist feels when thinking about the universe and our place in it. 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.The End of Everything is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.

Vi vet att universum hade en början. Ur big bang expanderade det från ett tillstånd av ofattbar densitet till ett skimrande flöde av energi och materia ur vilket alltifrån svarta hål till den lilla blå planet som snurrar kring en sol nära Vintergatans kant och där livet såsom vi känner det råkade utvecklas.
Men vad händer med universum vid berättelsen slut? Och vad innebär det för oss, för solsystemet och för vår galax? Dessa frågor söker Katie Mack ett svar på i Alltings slut [astrofysiskt betraktat]. På ett elegant och roande sätt tar hon läsaren med på en hisnande resa genom universums fem mest troliga ändstationer: den stora krossen, värmedöd, det stora rivet, vakuumförfall som faktiskt kan inträffa i vilket ögonblick som helst och studs (när två universum kolliderar med varandra). Det är en berättelse med stöd i den främsta forskningen inom astronomi, kvantmekanik, kosmologi, strängteori och flera andra områden.
Alltings slut är en färd till vårt vetandes allra bortersta gräns.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK * AN NPR SCIENCE FRIDAY BOOK CLUB SELECTION* NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST, THE ECONOMIST, NEW SCIENTIST, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, and THE GUARDIAN 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.

'In this brilliant book, Mack makes learning feel thrilling, and along the way helps us to understand what science actually does' John Green From one of the most exciting voices in science, a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of modern physicsWhat is the universe made of, and how do we know? For decades, physicists have studied this question, circling the most fundamental yet enigmatic building blocks of our world, descending to a level below atoms into the mysterious particles and fields that make up the quantum realm. This astonishing world is the key to understanding the workings of the universe, but it has held its secrets close.In How to Build a Universe, celebrated astrophysicist Katie Mack pulls back the curtain on these mysteries, presenting the most cutting-edge picture of what we know so far. And she shows we may be on the precipice of a monumental breakthrough, one that could shatter everything we thought we knew about the universe and the nature of reality.Thrilling and witty, How to Build a Universe is a ringside seat to some of the most mind-bending and exciting developments in physics and cosmology as they undergo a revolution, informed by the smallest and most alluring particles.

Wir wissen, dass das Universum vor vielen Milliarden Jahren in einem gewaltigen Feuerball entstand – dem Urknall. Aber wie wird die Geschichte unseres Universums enden? Wird es in unvorstellbarer Hitze verglühen – oder in eisiger Starre vergehen? Wird es zu einem Klumpen unendlicher Dichte kollabieren, und wird das Ende wirklich das Ende sein – oder entsteht das Universum danach von Neuem? Die renommierte Astrophysikerin Katie Mack nimmt uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise zu den Grenzen von Raum und Zeit und zeigt auf unterhaltsame Weise, was die Wissenschaft über das Ende des Kosmos weiß.

Усі ми знаємо, що у Всесвіту був початок. 13,8 мільярда років тому Великий вибух породив перші зірки, планети й галактики. Щонайменше на одній планеті зародилось та еволюціонувало життя, а його кволі двоногі представники сьогодні постять котиків, читають книжки про популярну фізику й будують ракети, щоб колонізувати інші планети. Дивовижа, правда? Але чим це все може закінчитися? Насправді Земля приречена — без варіантів. Через 5 мільярдів років Сонце перетвориться на червоного гіганта, розшириться й захопить Землю. Чи можна зазирнути за межі Сонячної системи й передбачити, яким буде кінець цілого Всесвіту? Американська космологиня Кейті Мак стверджує: для нас усе може скінчитися в будь-який момент. Вона подає п’ять можливих сценаріїв кінця світу з астрофізичного погляду. Але крім суто наукових пояснень авторка занурюється у глибші матерії: що все це означатиме для нас, людей? І якщо кінець усього може настати вже завтра, то чи є сенс виносити сміття зранку?

Tiedämme varmasti, että maailmankaikkeus syntyi, ja olemme saaneet selville alkuhetkien jälkeiset tapahtumat kohtuullisen hyvin. Mutta mikä maailmankaikkeutta odottaa tulevaisuudessa?Teoreettiseen kosmologiaan erikoistunut astrofyysikko Katie Mack kuljettaa lukijansa viiden erilaisen maailmankaikkeuden lopun läpi: universumi voi rysähtää kasaan, kohdata lämpökuoleman, repeytyä hajalle, pompata uuteen alkuun tai tulla seuraavan viiden minuutin kuluessa nielaistuksi valonnopeudella etenevään kuolettavaan kvanttikuplaan.Mack esittelee kosmologian, kvanttimekaniikan ja säieteorian keskeisiä ajatuksia ja kuvailee, kuinka pienet muutokset nykyisiin käsityksiimme voivat muuttaa tulevaisuudennäkymiä dramaattisesti. Teos antaa oivaltavan läpileikkauksen tämänhetkisestä kosmologisesta tutkimuksesta ja samalla omasta paikastamme maailmankaikkeudessa.
