大崩墜、熱寂、大撕裂、真空衰變、回彈……
5個迥異的宇宙末日場景,到底誰會勝出?
以有涯隨無涯,一本書看懂宇宙結構,以及背後深層的演變力量。
 
  我們都知道宇宙有個開端。大約138億年前,宇宙從難以想像的密度狀態,變成蘊涵萬物的宇宙火球,再變成逐漸冷卻的物質和能量流體,為我們今天所看到的恆星和星系埋下種子。接著,行星形成,星系碰撞,宇宙大放光明。然後,在一個螺旋星系邊緣附近,圍繞著一顆普通恆星運行的一顆岩石行星上,孕育出了生命。其中有種細長瘦弱的雙足哺乳動物,會以閱讀物理書籍為樂。
 
  而在大約50億年後,目前中年的太陽將膨脹為紅巨星,吞沒水星和金星的軌道,屆時地球將化為一顆被燒盡、了無生機、滿布岩漿的石塊,最終會被捲入太陽外層而結束。不過,到時候人類或許已搬到其他星球,甚至其他星系,建立新家園,人類依然可以立足。
 
  但如果是宇宙的死亡,對我們和萬物又意味著什麼?
  如果宇宙終將有個故事的結局,那人類不就終將無處可以容身?
  倘若如此,那麼宇宙的結束會是和平的消逝,還是戲劇性的災難?而這一切對現在的我們有著怎樣的意義?
 
  天文物理學家暨宇宙災難鑑賞家凱蒂•麥克(Katie Mack),以活潑的智慧和幽默,帶我們領略了宇宙可能出現的五種結局:大崩墜、熱寂、大撕裂、真空衰變和回彈。
 
  宇宙膨脹會一直持續下去嗎?暗能量和熵怎樣影響宇宙的未來?宇宙終結之後又會是怎樣的光景?麥克以其平易而有趣的文字和生動的插圖,傳達出宇宙學的研究現況。談的是末世,卻在探討最終誰勝出的過程中,藉由呈現一個又一個截然不同的末世場景,帶出宇宙的形狀和結構,物質和能量的分布,以及控制其演變背後的力量,揭示了基本的真理,藉此拓展讀者思維,提醒我們自己在浩瀚宇宙中的位置。
 
  透過探討末日,作者深入當前支持或反對每種可能性的最佳證據。書中沒有複雜的數學運算,而是採用平易近人而有趣的文筆和恰到好處的插圖,透過現實中不斷仍在變動的知識,讓我們看到人類雖渺小,卻擁有可以超越平凡生活、放眼虛空能力。
 
  這是一場充滿樂趣、出人意料的歡快之旅,將我們所知的一切帶往最遙遠的未來。
