Katie Mack on the end of the universe and everything we know | The InnerView

Astrophysicist and theoretical cosmologist Katie Mack talks to Imran Garda about the small matter of the end of the universe. Mack has devoted her life to exploring this cosmic mystery, and even wrote a book about it, The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking). On this episode of The InnerView, the cosmologist who has been immortalized in verse by artist Hozier further discusses dark matter, black holes, real quantum theory versus fake internet quantum nonsense — and the most likely ways the universe might meet its demise.
