Title: Interesting concept, shaky mathematics
Review: A very interesting narrative on the potential development and demise of our universe. The manuscript attempts to condense future time by introducing the concept of cosmological decades, i.e. time is transformed to a logarithmic scale.In doing so however, you can no longer claim that a billion years equals to 9 decades, that depends fully on WHEN these billion years happens. A second concern has to do with life expectancy: If a particle has a life expectancy of a million years and a pool of 1 million particles is available than it does not mean that every year a particle decays. In other words, the autors assume a uniform distribution where a normal distribution is more probable.Issues like the onces described caused me to abandon reading the book about half way. Despite the interesting concept I cannot recommend it.
