Description
Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists
in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to
help nonscientists understand the questions being asked by
scientists today: Where did the universe come from? How and why
did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Hawking
attempts to reveal these questions (and where we're looking for
answers) using a minimum of technical jargon. Among the topics
gracefully covered are gravity, black holes, the Big Bang, the
nature of time, and physicists' search for a grand unifying
theory. This is deep science; these concepts are so vast (or so
tiny) as to cause vertigo while reading, and one can't help but
marvel at Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult subject
for people not used to thinking about things like alternate
dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking, for, as
Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a
glimpse of "the mind of God." --Therese Littleton
