«El punto omega» is John Gribbin's popular science essay, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Popular science writer John Gribbin analyzes physical theories about the end of the cosmos: if existing matter is sufficient, the expansion of the universe could reverse into a final collapse, the «Big Crunch». He also traces the so-called missing mass, which would decide that fate, and summarizes the advances of modern cosmology for the non-specialist reader.
Work originally published in 1988 under the title The Omega Point; this Spanish edition is part of Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo collection.
For readers who want to approach cosmology without prior training and enjoy the big questions about the fate of the universe.
