Books and some interesting pages I read in May 2026 Non-fiction The End of Everything by Katie Mack (2020) 226 pages 5 stars We know that the universe started with the Big Bang, and that it currently is expanding. But will this go on forever, or is the universe destined to end, and if so, will there be a new Big Bang? The writer, a theoretical cosmologist, gives an easy to read overview of the current scientific understanding on the future of the universe. During this tour we encounter subjects like dark matter and dark energy, the Cosmic Microwave Background, measuring the expansion rate, get an explanation about the equilibrium of forces that keep the stars together, the Highs field, and much more. We learn about the different models for the end, like the Big Cruch, Heat Death, the Big Rip, and the Vacuum Decay. Interesting read, never boring, highly recommended!
