A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY * THE WASHINGTON POST * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
"[A] pleasure...I found it helpful—not reassuring, certainly, but mind-expanding—to be reminded of our place in a vast cosmos." —James Gleick, The New York Times Book Review
"A thrilling tour of potential cosmic doomsdays....Beyond her deep expertise, Ms. Mack's infectious enthusiasm for communicating the finer points of cosmological doom elevates The End of Everything over any other book on the topic I have read." —The Wall Street Journal
From one of the most dynamic rising stars in astrophysics, an accessible and eye-opening 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.

宇宙毁灭的五个猜想及其理论推论
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
宇宙最终会以什么方式走向毁灭?又是否会在毁灭后迎来新生?以“宇宙的结局”为线索,作者提出宇宙毁灭的5种可能的假设和理论依据的同时,穿插大量的天体物理学基础知识和丰富的科学猜想。勾起我读过的科幻小说桥段的回忆,这让这些晦涩的知识显得陌生而又熟悉,却格外生动了起... (展开)新手教学|如何优雅地毁灭宇宙?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
相信每个人曾有过“毁灭吧 累了”的感觉吧,在《疯狂的外星人》刚上映那会儿,沈腾的台词“毁灭吧,赶紧的,累了”说出了很多人的心声。 不过,就算感到无奈、疲惫,毁灭地球甚至宇宙也不是一个短暂的过程,没有超能力抑或“无限手套”的我们,无法像灭霸打个响指一样就让半数... (展开)老人的战争,高开低走
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
看完一整套。 1 六部书高开低走。前两部叙事清晰,脑洞颇多。情节跌宕起伏,尤其是雅列狄拉克的故事,在短暂的人生中最终发现了“自我”的意义。但后四部内容拖沓,风格从人物传记变成政治外交,科幻属性大幅度降低。 2 不知道大家发现没有,斯卡尔奇这套书,几乎所有的人物都... (展开)在幽默的语言里阅读宇宙的终结

It’s the transience of these things. It’s the doing. It’s the process. It’s the journey. Who cares where you get to, right? 物理渣,毫无空间感和想象力,和大家一起晕晕乎乎读完。作者很幽默,第九章深得我心。 到底吸收了多少我不知道,enjoy the journey.

本来以为会很学术很难懂,没想到听得停不下来,感激作者时不时穿插的玩笑,感激作者把理论写得清晰易懂,但又没把读者当成幼儿园小朋友。听完觉得自己真的学到了不少。最后听到作者对同事们的采访的时候,我不禁佩服那些cosmologist还那么乐观,没有滑进虚无主义!作者用一个"Cool"结尾全书也是很酷了。
