Rated The End of Everything 8/10

An exemplary piece of popular science writing, making a huge and mind-bending and unbalancingly bleak subject breezy and delightful. Mack deserves special praise for how well she describes, analogizes, and makes graspable some concepts that are genuinely difficult for the human mind to wrap itself around. As far as I can tell, this is about the most a layperson can understand the current state of cosmology, quantum physics, and the gaps between them without PhD-level study. And I’ll add it’s a nice break from everything happening on earth to think much, much bigger picture for a few hours!
