By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The question of how the world will end has been the subject of speculation and debate among poets and philosophers throughout history. The answer, according to science, is fire. The universe will end in about five billion years, when the Sun will swell to its red giant phase and leave the Earth a charred, lifeless, magma-covered rock.

#2 Eschatology, the study of the end of everything, is a way for many religions to contextualize the lessons of theology and to drive home their meaning with overwhelming force. It is hard to deny that knowing our cosmic destiny has some impact on how we think about our existence.

#3 I have always been drawn to questions that can be answered with scientific observation, mathematics, and physical evidence. I knew I would only be able to accept the truth that could be derived mathematically.

#4 The question of the future and ultimate fate of all reality is a scientific one, and the answer is tantalizingly within reach. We are a species that has only just begun to develop the theories and observations needed to understand the far future of the cosmos.
