Τέλος. Κοσμικές καταστροφές και η μοίρα του σύμπαντος
Νέες ανακαλύψεις σε διαφορετικούς τομείς της επιστήμης φανερώνουν ότι το Σύμπαν είναι πολύ εύθραυστο και παράξενο στην πραγματικότητα από ό,τι εμφανίζεται στα μυθιστορήματα επιστημονικής φαντασίας. Τα πρόσφατα στοιχεία από τις αποστολές στο διάστημα, την κοσμολογία, τη φυσική στοιχειωδών σωματιδίων και τη γεωλογία αποκαλύπτουν ένα ανησυχητικό μήνυμα: η Γη κινδυνεύει από φυσικές δυνάμεις πολύ πέρα από τον έλεγχό μας. Προκαλεί δέος το πόσο ασήμαντος και τρωτός είναι ο άνθρωπος.
