I try to keep in some touch with cosmology. The subject one does not so much study but rather it happens to you .
Be you new to astrophysics or as accomplished as Dr Mack this is a riveting read. It is so good you might want to reread part of a chapter and feel genuinely sorry to reach its end.
The book has influenced my thinking in s positive sense. I have actually gone off the concept of Big Crunch by the masterful writing of that early chapter. By the time one has got happily through Heat Death, Big Rip, Vacuum Decay and Bounce etc. one notes how well the various foreseeable alternatives are presented.
Of course, the scale of the enquiry being no less than the ultimate outcome of the cosmos - there is no definitive or communicable answer. The writer aptly borrows the religious/ theological term eschatology meaning final outcome. I propose that if the universe has made up its mind (?) we could hardly find out this week.
Brian Greene, Dan Hooper and Penrose have given us some fine contemporary cosmological works but for its blend of wit and drama this is an excellent read.
Highly recommended.
