Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication
59:03·2025·undergraduate level·Public Colloquium
Theoretical astrophysicist Katie Mack examines the ultimate fate of the cosmos, exploring scenarios for the universe's conclusion as informed by modern astrophysical theories.
The Big Bang theory tells the story of the beginning of the Universe, our cosmic home for the last 13.8 billion years. But how does the story end? I’ll share what modern astrophysics tells us about the ultimate fate of the cosmos, and what the catastrophic destruction of all reality would look like to anyone still around to see it.
