Excerpt from The End of the World
But how can that come to pass? We make our plans for years in advance, statesmen for de cades and centuries. Nature round about us, the result of uninterrupted development for millions of years, has vitality for further millions and millions of years. Who could believe that there should ever be an end? Wherefore this evident struggle for ceaseless progress which inspires even inanimate nature; if all is destined to end some day? Wherefore are we all doomed to die? We cannot do better than reply with Mephisto Because everything which exists is worth being destroyed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature and inevitability of decay within the context of the world around us, considering the universe, the celestial systems within it, all life on Earth, and finally, the eventual demise of all that we know. Through a gripping analysis of natural phenomena such as windstorms, tsunamis, and earthquakes, the author argues that destructive catastrophes that threaten the existence of humanity are not only possible but probable, and in the end, unavoidable. As the book considers the cyclical nature of the universe, it posits that destruction on such a grand scale is, in fact, necessary to provide the building blocks for the formation of new celestial bodies, and the possibility of new life. This fascinating and thought-provoking analysis will captivate anyone interested in the interplay between cosmic forces, the origins of the universe, the development of life, and our place within it all.
