Black Holes ... Supernovae Explosions ... Heatdeath
The big bang and primeval fire set the universe on an inexorable course towards ultimate disintegration. This is the strange and awesome journey on which this book takes the reader.
From the unimaginable fireball that erupted some 15,000 million years ago, fragments of matter hurtled into space and intelligent life began to grow on our planet, and perhaps on others. But now the stars are dying - will burn out; galaxies will turn into celestial graveyards; space-time itself may disappear; black holes will swallow stars and coalesce to form superholes. Will the universe slowly die of cold - or obliterate itself in a gigantic cosmic cataclysm?
