Summary
The overwhelming majority of celestial space is inactive and will remain forever unruffled. But when cosmic violence does unfold, it changes the very fabric of the universe, with mega-explosions and ripple effects that reach the near limits of human comprehension. From colliding galaxies to solar storms, and gamma ray bursts to space-and-time-warping upheavals, these moments are rare yet powerful, often unseen but consequentially felt. Likewise, here on Earth, existence is fragile, always vulnerable to hazards both natural and manufactured. Berman masterfully synthesizes some of people's worst fears into an astonishing portrait of the universe that promises to transform the way people look at the world(s) around them
