When an adolescent of genius - the way Traian Rares Tus seems to be, originated from Baia Mare, Romania - writes a book about the end of the world, it is, without a doubt, a sign: we are sent a warning, we are asked to pay attention. Whether it is a good or a bad omen is left to be concluded upon close analysis. For the time being, I construe for the lector that must be incited to reading, that it is about an exceptional product of the mind of a youth matured before time and preoccupied by the great threats to this planet, to humankind. Traian Rares will have the big chance to affirm himself in the most erudite scientific environments in the world and will bring along many remarkable messages. One of them refers to the waking of humanity from "the sleep of reason" and I want to believe that his voice - united with other lucid, responsible voices - will be able to change our dying world for the better. Warm congratulations Traian Rares Tus and farewell in the tumultuous life that awaits you! - Academician Ioan-Aurel Pop, President of the Romanian Academy

International Olympic multi medalist in Physics and Astrophysics Traian Tus takes an informed and often surprising look at one of the greatest concerns in history: how will the world end? With the hysteria induced by recent events in mind, this book is aimed at settling the apocalypse dilemma, by providing the readers with an overarching view on the different ways the end might commence. Hence, the modern-day apocalypses have been arranged in accordance with their likelihood of happening and presented as accurate and as straightforward as possible.
