Whatever legacy-based rationalization we use to make peace with our own personal deaths … in a cosmic sense, it will not have mattered that we ever lived. The universe will, more likely than not, fade into a cold, dark, empty cosmos, and all that we've done will be utterly forgotten.

Introduction
In scientific circles, it's agreed that the Earth will end with fire — the sun will engulf the planet and everything on it. But theories about the end of the universe are much less concrete.
In her 2020 book, The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking), theoretical cosmologist Katie Mack delves into various hypotheses about the end of the universe, from catastrophic collisions to irreversible expansion.
Drawing on science, philosophy, poetry, and popular culture, Mack ventures into far reaches of space, detailing exactly how things might come to a spectacular end.
