À propos de cet audio
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY * THE WASHINGTON POST * THE ECONOMIST * NEW SCIENTIST * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY * THE GUARDIAN
From one of the most dynamic rising 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.

Something strange is going on in the cosmos. Scientists are uncovering a catalogue of weird phenomena that simply can’t be explained by our long-established theories of the universe. After decades of fruitless searching, could we finally be catching glimpses of a profound new view of our physical world? Or are we being fooled by cruel tricks of the data? In Space Oddities, Harry Cliff, a physicist who does cutting-edge work on the Large Hadron Collider, provides a riveting look at the universe’s most confounding puzzles.

Mars was once similar to Earth, but today there are no rivers, no lakes, no oceans. Coated in red dust, the terrain is bewilderingly empty. And yet multiple spacecraft are circling Mars, on the brink, perhaps, of a staggering find, one that would inspire humankind as much as any discovery in the history of modern science. In this beautifully observed, deeply personal book, Georgetown scientist Sarah Stewart Johnson tells the story of how she and other researchers have scoured Mars for signs of life, transforming the planet from a distant point of light into a world of its own.

Humans are venturing up and out, and we’re taking our competitive spirit with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers, and seas have impacted civilizations around the world. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China, and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics and the world order as we know it. In this must-listen work, bestselling author Tim Marshall navigates the new astropolitical reality to show how we got here and where we’re heading.

A squirrel in the garden. A rat in the wall. A pigeon on the street. Humans have spent so much of our history drawing a hard line between human spaces and wild places. When animals pop up where we don’t expect or want them, we respond with fear, rage, or simple annoyance. It’s no longer an animal. It’s a pest. At the intersection of science, history, and narrative journalism, Pests is not a simple call to look closer at our urban ecosystem. It’s not a natural history of the animals we hate. Instead, this book is about us.

The Viking Age - from 750 to 1050 saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture.

After a storied and scandalous career as one of the Indian Ocean’s most notorious pirates, she’s survived backstabbing rogues, vengeful merchant princes, several husbands, and one actual demon to retire peacefully with her family to a life of piety, motherhood, and absolutely nothing that hints of the supernatural.

Enjoyed every word
I hope Katie writes more. I read books on this topic and this one is better than most. At some point I will reread this one and will certainly be anxious for her next.

Really informative but narration could've been better
The content was really interesting but the narrator switch after chapter 1 was a bit jarring. I've heard Katie speak in other podcasts and like her style, so having someone else narrate felt awkward and impersonal.
I would've preferred if she narrated the entire audiobook.

A wonderfully entertaining read!
A wonderfully entertaining read delivered with wit and insight. It's refreshing to think about an apocalypse happening billions of years in the future, for once.

Life changing
This book could be named “The End of the Universe For Dummies” because it can be easily understood by anyone without any sort of physics or cosmology background. Someone like me. Books like this make complex science topics accessible for everyone!
Dr. Mack takes what should be an extremely complex, terrifying & depressing topic, and manages to turn it around into something easily understood, humorous & inspiring. Yes, the book can be absolutely terror inducing (don’t read right before trying to sleep if existential crisis are not your idea of fun), but Dr. Mack has a way of bringing awe to the forefront with a dash of witty humor I would never have otherwise associated with an Astrophysicist.
When I finished the book I felt a profound sense of contentment. That my life really can mean something because it means something to me NOW. I felt inspired. Uplifted. Compelled to do more with my finite time. This actually changed my outlook on life in a very positive way. And yet, the book was about the ways the Universe could end (to which it will end somehow), quite permanently.
Thank you Dr. Mack for this gift of a book to us lowkey science nerds who just don’t get the math parts.

Decent Overview But Not Particularly Detailed
Not a bad overview of "cosmic eschatology" by any means, but not particularly rigorous or exploratory of the possibility space. You will get more out of reading every topic-relevant page of Wikipedia or watching YouTube videos that go into better (and visual) detail. And since both of those resources are free...
The narrator was good. Chuckled a few times, Katie has a decent sense of humour.

Hard pass
Poorly written. It’s a scientist’s stream of professional consciousness. Lacks structure and direction and depth.
Narrator is terrible
It really could have been very interesting and captivating… but it wasn’t. Hard pass.
