How the Universe Ends

In this online talk, astrophysicist and science writer Katie Mack takes us on a trip to the end of the cosmos. She explores each of the possible big finales anticipated by science – from "Heat Death" to the "Big Crunch," "Vacuum Decay”  or the "Bounce." Our universe could collapse in upon itself, rip itself apart, or even succumb to an inescapable expansion and simply float away.

As she guides us through the major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory, and more, Mack will demonstrate how even small tweaks to our incomplete understanding of reality may result in starkly different futures for existence as we know it.
