At first, the reader of this book may have the impression that the Universe is only waiting for his apocalypse. But is it really worth being afraid of black holes, gamma-ray and supernova? And if there are reasons for fears, then can we do something to save ourselves?
A witty and cheerfully known astrophysicist talks about countless options for the end of the world that cosmos can bring down on us. Offering the reader fascinating and alarming stories, as if borrowed from science fiction, Philip Plate accompanies them with comments on how they can affect life on Earth and the Universe itself, if they come true. But the author does not aim to hit the reader with sensational information: analyzing a particular script, he shows how to prevent it.
This is an impeccably scientific, but accessible to the mass reader, the study is an excellent lesson in astronomy for beginners and genuine pleasure for trained fans of science
