Yes a lot of things went over my head but I also had a blast reading about all of the ways the universe could and most likely will end!!

This was fascinating, but it did miss one important possible way for the cosmos to end: the explosion of my brain trying to picture all of this.

She goes through the current models for what our universe might be, why it acts the way it does, the stumbling blocks they're trying to figure out, and what each model would look like if they were true. It's in layman's terms, short, sweet and funny even about absolute destruction.

I had to listen to some parts multiple times all the same because trying to understand phantom particles and dark energy and the rest makes me cognitively sea sick. Definitely recommended.

Fascinating, when I understood it! Mack does a good job attempting to explain complicated concepts to the interested reader (though some ideas still went over my head). I love her sense of humor and would recommend this to readers who love science and the origins of the earth.

This book was a really fun, enlightening, and funny way to describe how all life will be inevitably massacred. The author managed to keep the information dumping interesting with her euphemisms and snarky remarks. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone interested in learning how the universe will end

And cue my existential crisis.
