1. Five Ages Of The Universe
The book explores the concept of the universe through five distinct eras, spanning from the familiar present to the farthest reaches of future time. It begins with the Primordial Era, characterized by the Big Bang and formation of fundamental particles. This is followed by the Stelliferous Era, marked by the birth and death of stars and the formation of galaxies. The Degenerate Era comes next, where stars fade away, leaving behind white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. The book then delves into the Black Hole Era, where these remaining celestial objects dominate the universe. Finally, it concludes with the Dark Era, in which the universe, devoid of any substantial light sources, cools down as it heads towards entropy. Throughout, the book combines astrophysics with a philosophical perspective on the ultimate fate of the universe.
