Summary of this Book... | ||
From New York Times: A landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawkingâs book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe beginâand what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unendingâor are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends? Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and âarrows of time,â of the big bang and a bigger Godâwhere the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation. | ||

At times it seemed the author was distracted. He sounded like a lecturing professor prepping students for the final exam. | ||
