The Last Three Minutes: Conjectures About the Ultimate Fate of the Universe by Paul Davies
Requirements: PDF Reader, 14.7MB
Overview: Ragnarok. Armageddon. Doomsday. Since the dawn of time, man has wondered how the world would end. In The Last Three Minutes, Paul Davies reveals the latest theories. It might end in a whimper, slowly scattering into the infinite void. Then again, it might be yanked back by its own gravity and end in a catastrophic “Big Crunch.” There are other, more frightening possibilities. We may be seconds away from doom at this very moment. Written in clear language that makes the cutting-edge science of quarks, neutrinos, wormholes, and metaverses accessible to the layman, The Last Three Minutes treats readers to a wide range of conjectures about the ultimate fate of the universe. Along the way, it takes the occasional divergent path to discuss some slightly less cataclysmic topics such as galactic colonization, what would happen if the Earth were struck by the comet Swift-Tuttle (a distinct possibility), the effects of falling in a black hole, and how to create a “baby universe.” Wonderfully morbid to the core, this is one of the most original science books to come along in years. The last three minutes of the universe has been the subject of much scientific and lay speculation for many years. Now, Paul Davies clearly and concisely sets out the arguments for three possible outcomes: 1) the universe will go on expanding indefinitely, 2) it will slow down and eventually collapse into a zero space, the reverse of the Big Bang, 3) it will reach a steady state neither expanding nor contracting but staying the same forever. As a religious man, Davies is equally curious about the implications for humans: is there any sense in which humanity can expect to survive for eternity?
