Can the Vacuum of Space Actually Destroy Everything?

This long, slow-paced exploration follows the idea of vacuum as a cosmic destroyer, from human bodies and spacecraft to stars, galaxies, and even the fabric of the universe. Along the way it explains what a vacuum really is, how it behaves, and what modern physics suggests about the far future of everything. Designed as a calm, continuous narration you can listen to in the background or fall asleep to.
